What to Do

Navagio beach is located in Zakynthos Island, right off the east Peloponnese coast of Greece. To be more precise, this beach is in the northwest part of this island, near Anafonitria Village. Above the beach, there is a spot which offers a view of the white cliffs and turquoise sea water which is very deep. The beach is around 500 meters wide and 50 meters long, if you are not swimmer I suggest you to not go into water very far.

By the history this beach is dark and scary, it doesn't make tourist afraid to go there. Otherwise, they are interesting to see this Panagiotis Shipwreck.
