Navagio Beach or Shipwreck Beach lies on the north-west coast of Zakynthos, a beautiful Ionian Island. Due to the well-preserved shipwreck in the middle of the white sand among turquoise blue sea and colossal cliffs, you will find the probably most photographed beach in Greece, also referred to as smuggler’s bay. The incredible beach can be accessed by boat or admired from the viewpoint on the cliffs. Navagio is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Located in the south of the island, are the secluded Mizithres rocks. The rock formations, near the village of Keri, are a place of exceptional, raw and breathtaking nature and equally, one of the best spots to watch the sunset. When in Zakynthos, the rocks of Mizithres are a wonder of nature one should not miss.
The Plakaki Beach is a rocky bay, with large rocks rather than a beach. After a steep adventurous walk down of roughly 20 minutes, you will come to see a magnificent scenery. There are not too many people here, so that this place is ideal for a calm and peaceful day in nature. It is simply paradise.
Close to the famous Navagio Beach, another beautiful location is the Filippoi Beach. This is a wild beach with clear water, caves, colourful butterflies flying around and an unremarkable underwater world. Besides the rocky entrance to the water which can be a challenge, the sea and view are fantastic. Therefore, the Filippoi Beach is definitely worth visiting, as a rare and secluded place on the island.
The Skinari Cape is in the far north of the island, offering wonderful views of the Ionian sea. Besides observing the cliffs, sea and some rare plants from above, there are also steps leading down to the ocean.
In the north-west of Zakynthos lies Porto Vromi, a beautiful little harbor. Whilst the views of the landscape are spectacular on the drive down to the beach, the beach itself has clean turquoise green water. There are a few rather small boats anchoring in the harbor, which add to the lovely scenery.
If there is one activity you do on the island, make it going on a boat. Zakynthos has many undiscovered coves and beaches that you can only access by boat. These make the best swimming spots as you can enjoy untouched, peaceful and wild nature.
