Navagio Beach Viewpoint

4.5
(10621)
Scenic spot
Located on the northwest coast of the Greek island of Zakynthos, Navagio Beach Viewpoint offers a stunning vantage point to admire Shipwreck Beach. This famous cove is home to the remains of a ship that ran aground in the 1960s and has become a favorite spot for Instagrammers visiting the Greek islands.
The most beautiful view! Go once before sunset and second time after 12 o'clock at noon. Absolutely stunning water views! Be careful though with your pictures! Apply sunscreen if you go at noon! Highly recommend to wear sneakers instead of flip flops and sandals. At sunset the parking is mostly free but around noon it's an absolute nightmare to find place to park. The view is worth it though.
Антония М — Google review
A very impressive view. Plan on going 5 to 7 pm so that the sun is shining in the best direction, and there are no tour boats in the bay to detract from the amazing nature in your photos. The walk back is up a steep hill, so only try it if you are in condition enough to handle it. I would NOT recommend bringing young children because you will probably have to carry them up the hill back to your car, and the viewing point is too dangerous for them.
Alexander H — Google review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely stunning spot! The views at Shipwreck Beach in Zakynthos are breathtaking — turquoise water, dramatic cliffs, and the famous wreck make it feel almost unreal. We were lucky to visit when it wasn’t busy, so it felt calm and untouched. It can get quite windy, so be careful if you’re feeling daring near the edge 😉. Definitely one of those places that looks even better in person than in photos. A must-see in Zakynthos!
Ricky D — Google review
Navagio Viewpoint is hands-down the most jaw-dropping coastal view I’ve ever seen, so breathtaking that I visited twice—once at sunset and once during the day. Each time felt like stepping into a completely different world! During the day, the turquoise waters of Shipwreck Beach shimmer in 50 shades of blue, revealing every vibrant detail, while at sunset, the scene transforms into a warm, golden spectacle that’s pure magic. I could also see and hear wild goats in the distance, their calls echoing through the cliffs, adding a raw, wild charm to the experience. The best views come just beyond the official barriers, where the scenery is even more spectacular, but extreme caution is needed—there are photos commemorating several people who tragically lost their lives here, so stay safe and avoid risky areas near the cliff edge. The sheer beauty of the scene, framed by lush greenery and dramatic cliffs, left me speechless—it’s an absolute must-see in Zakynthos. The viewpoint is easily accessible by car, with a small parking area nearby, but it gets crowded, so arrive early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the rush and enjoy the view in peace. A tip: bring a camera or phone with a good zoom to capture the shipwreck details, and watch your step near the edge, as the drop is steep with only a basic fence for safety in the main area. There’s a small snack bar nearby for drinks, but it’s pricey, so pack your own water. Highly recommend visiting both at sunset and during the day for two unforgettable perspectives of this iconic spot!
Hristiyan V — Google review
Amazing views if you walk past the gate. Some dude started yelling at people and telling them, "get back. Don't you understand that Zakynthos is an earthquake island". Well, if an earthquake hits, it won't matter what side of the fence you're on. Regardless, this spot lacked a lot, tons of trash, too many people, etc... If you want to have the best experience, rent a boat to see Navagio Beach!!
Edmond M — Google review
The place needs a bit of a workout. Installing some bins would be ideal for uneducated tourists as there are lots of bottles and rubbish at the edge of the cliff. And the fence should have a different design as it stops you from seeing much. Good parking lot but when crowded probably it is a problem.
Crina — Google review
First of all: The actual view is beautiful. Everything else - such as getting to that view - problematic. Just be aware of that. I can recommend getting there between 9:30 and 10:30. Not too crowded, parking possible. There is one big parking spot - if that one is full you can park on the side of the street. There are some shops where you can get ice cream or drinks. From the „legal“ path its basically impossible to get a nice view. And we all want that perfect photo. So sadly there is no real way but to go a bit beside the fence (safely!) to get a quick look. Obviously its very crowded but worth a visit anyways!
Marc K — Google review
This is one of the most famous beaches in Greece! It's on many postcards! The actual beach is now closed for visitors because of safety concerns as the cliffs have been collapsing recently. The view point is amazing! They have built a safe path to it! The views from there are just stunning 🤩!!! Highly recommend visiting! It can get busy so you need to get lucky otherwise just a bit of wait till your turn 👍. There are couple of coffee shops where you can get refreshments and ice-cream and have it while enjoying the stunning views.

NAVAGIO,也被称为走私者湾,是扎金索斯岛上一个著名的卵石海滩,坐落在高耸的石灰岩悬崖之间。该海滩只能通过船只到达,拥有清澈的碧绿海水和一艘沉船,增添了它的魅力。帕纳约提斯号在上世纪八十年代搁浅,据信是为意大利黑手党走私违禁品,这也为该地区的昵称提供了来源。这个如画的环境提供了令人惊叹的拍照机会,是一个受欢迎的旅游景点。
Unfortunately, the beach itself is no longer accessible, but you can still visit it as part of a boat tour. The water has a stunning color and is incredibly clear, making it a truly beautiful place to see and enjoy.
Levente M — Google review
The beach is beautiful with crystal blue waters and white sand, but it's totally overrated. Also, there are minimum 5 boats in the bay at every time. Since 2024, there are regulations from the Greek Government to not let anyone go on the beach or swim nearby because of falling cliffs (and you can see rocks that fell on the beach on the sides). You can only stay on the boat as they will turn for 15 minutes in the bay, then go to another spot if they have swimming spots included.
Ana-Maria A — Google review
Always wanted to see this since I was a kid. Finally nice to have ticked it off. Shipwreck is cool but the amount of tourists is insane. Do prepare yourself for that. Best to hire your own boat for the trip as it will be more enjoyable. I would do that next time.
Tai T — Google review
Lovely viewpoint, very small area open to be able to take a picture. The queue for the viewpoint platform took about 40 mins. They are doing work in the area so may be better next year. Well worth the wait though, probably best to see from a boat tour.
Mary W — Google review
The place is must see. The contrast between the turquoise water, the white cliffs and the iconic shipwreck creates an unforgettable view
Kamila S — Google review
Iconic place, a must see both from the sea and the viewpoint. Closed to public from 2023 due to limestone landslide, no access to it by car, the viewpoint gets a bit busy, it’s a 10 min walk to the furthest point. Views are incredible. Mind the hike back up, it’s a paved but quite steep, can get kinda hard in the heat. Mind the shadow/sun on the beach for good pics. Water photos taken at 11:20am early June. Viewpoint photos taken 2:30pm. There’s also a military base nearby & you can see F16 flying around super low to the water - spectacular sight
Lolita M — Google review
This famous cove can only be reached by boat, and you cannot go ashore because of the shipwreck remains on the beach. Still, the view of the dramatic cliffs and turquoise water is absolutely breathtaking, and swimming in the crystal-clear sea right from the boat is an unforgettable experience. It is definitely a tourist hotspot and can get very crowded, as it’s one of the most iconic places in Zakynthos. Despite that, the scenery is so unique that it’s worth seeing at least once. Floating in the water with the shipwreck and cliffs in the background is something you won’t easily forget. A good tip is to visit during the week rather than weekends, as it tends to be slightly less busy. There are no facilities here, so come prepared — but that’s part of the adventure. Overall, a must-see location in Zakynthos for the incredible views and experience in the water.
Baran Z — Google review
It's definitely a must-see, but it's impossible to reach by land. The stunning color of the sea and the ship create a wonderful blend. However, going to the beach and swimming in this area is dangerous and forbidden because rocks can fall from the mountains. But I definitely recommend visiting by boat to see the scenery.

Blue Caves Zakynthos

4.8
(7272)
Located at Cape Skinari on the northern tip of Zakynthos, the Blue Caves are a stunning natural wonder. The caves feature bright blue waters that reflect the sky's color, creating an enchanting azure and sapphire light inside. Visitors can explore these large geologic arch formations and hidden caves by boat, departing from Agios Nikolaos or as part of a round-the-island cruise from Zakynthos Town. The largest cave, Kianoun, is a popular spot for exploration.
Superb caves with amazing turquoise - blue waters in all shades and colors. It can get a bit busy with boats coming to the same spot around the same time. There is also a swimming point very close to the caves that is perfect for snorkeling (many fishes there)
Ana-Maria A — Google review
Absolutely gorgeous place to swim from ,once boats have left,although I can imagine it being very busy in peak season.there is a makeshift board to dive into the crystal clear waters where we watched a pod of dolphins fishing. There are a fair amount of steps to traverse, so only go if you're able bodied. At the top there are 2 large carparks and eating places.
Isobella H — Google review
One of the best spots on the island, when the sun enters the caves, a very unique effect is visible, the water inside the caves hits the rocks and turns into ice blue before splashing back. This effect is only reserved for your own eyes, cameras are unable to capture it. 100% worth a visit!
Diederik D — Google review
One of the nicest spots in Zante, visited from the windmill stair that goes down directly to the sea. Can be crowded and filled with boats depending on the day/time, better be there early in the morning.

Good place to visit on a boat but book your own as I personally didn't like how they all put the boats round a turtle for an hour so you could see it.

The Old Olive Tree is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Zante. This ancient tree, believed to be nearly 2000 years old, exudes a timeless charm and serves as a living testament to the rich heritage of the Mediterranean. Its gnarled trunk and silvery-green leaves tell a story of resilience and history, making it an impressive sight to behold. While it may be just a short stop, the experience of standing in its shade is truly special.
Lovely experience, we joined the tour in the factory to learn about the olive oil process, very interesting and lots to see on the outside. Bring water and a fan as it's very hot with limited shade outside. We stayed for around 30/40 minutes.

It's truly remarkable to stand before a tree over 2,000 years old, steeped in such rich history. There's a small square nearby where parking is convenient. The area is bustling with charming local shops offering a variety of delicious, authentic local products. A must-visit spot to experience both nature and local culture!

The oldest tree of the island. Visiting it is for free. There are stores next to it that provides according products, so if you are interested in that, there’s probably something that you could visit too. The way this tree has grown towards every possible direction is incredible. It is worth a short stop to have a look.

Porto Limnionas Beach

4.6
(7492)
Porto Limnionas Beach is a rocky inlet with clear blue-green water, surrounded by cliffs and caves. Accessible only by boat, it's a secluded spot popular for swimming and snorkeling. Visitors can rent sun-loungers from local restaurants with seafront terraces. Boat tours are available from various towns around the island, offering trips to Shipwreck Cove.
Very beautiful place, water is clear, beautiful blue /turquoise. The water is cold. There were caves where people go snorkeling. The beach part is actually a rock formation and you need to go down to reach the water and up to reach the sunbathing area. End of July you pay 20 EU for umbrella and two sunbeds. Staff is kind and friendly. There is no shower. Clean toilets with everything needed are available. You can reserve place in advance. Lots of people go there and finding a parking spot it's challenging if you come later in the day. Parking is available there and when full cars stop on the streets.
Nicole D — Google review
4.5 is a fair rate for this beach. It’s super picturesque with torques clear water. Great place for snorkeling. By the way, there is a rental spot for scuba diving and snorkeling. We also have had a great experience of searching and catching for crabs (I have released them subsequently). The only drawback was its overcrowds and dirtiness on the ground (mostly from smoking).

Absolutely gorgeous beach and one of my favorites. Very good for snorkeling and it has shallow waters as well, it's gradual and it's ranging from 30cm to 5-6m or above. It's not suitable for kids since you can't really sunbathe and it's kinda hard for kids to reach the shallow water zone.
Mr F — Google review
Beautiful cove with cliff jumping and caves within swimming distance. Small parking lot with additional parking available along the road. Gets quite busy but it doesn’t take away from how incredible the spot is.
Brianna M — Google review
Porto Limnionas Beach is a breathtaking hidden gem on Zakynthos’ west coast, offering a unique and unforgettable experience. This isn’t a typical beach but a stunning fjord-like cove with crystal-clear, emerald waters perfect for swimming and snorkeling. I was blown away by the vibrant marine life and the dramatic rocky cliffs surrounding the cove, which made every swim feel like an adventure. The water was noticeably colder compared to other beaches on the island, adding a refreshing thrill, especially on hot days. There are plenty of spots for jumping into the deep, invigorating waters, with rocky ledges and platforms that make it a paradise for thrill-seekers. A few tips: the descent to the water is via steps, so wear sturdy shoes and watch your step, especially with kids. Ignore any pushy parking attendants trying to charge for free spots—park closer to the taverna instead, where you can often get free parking with a meal or drink. The nearby taverna offers sunbeds for a small fee (around €5-6 for a set with an umbrella) and serves delicious food with amazing views—perfect for a post-swim meal. Arrive early to snag a sunbed and enjoy the tranquil vibe before it gets busy. The sunset here is pure magic, making Porto Limnionas a must-visit for nature lovers and those seeking a serene escape!
Hristiyan V — Google review
Very crowded, a lot of trash. But beautiful 😁 You can begin your diving here. A lot of fishes, 🦀 crabs and caves! Its hart to find a place to lay. A lot of empty bottles, cigarettes and other trash around. Nevertheless you must check it out 🫡 There are some cold streams in the water and different depths for different goals. Also you may rent diving equipment here. Hard to get into the water. The beach has jumping spot ~3-4m

Laganas Beach in Zakynthos is a 7-kilometer long sandy beach, perfect for sunbathing and water sports. The shallow, crystal clear waters are ideal for swimming and snorkeling, with the chance to spot loggerhead turtles. There are plenty of sunbeds available for relaxation and waterfront tavernas for a light lunch.
The absolute jewel in the crown of Zakynthos Island. The beach is massive and stretches from the main party strip if that is your scene all the way across to the much quieter Kalamaki beach which is a protected reserve for sea turtles. Whether you are looking for a loud party atmosphere or somewhere to chill with the family this place has it all.

Busy yet lovely sandy beach. The sea is a few meters from your sunbed (should you wish to rent one... 10 for 2 and umbrella) and as smooth as a pond. The beach bars are reasonably priced for a snack. A view to enjoy and if you like planes, a good spot yo see them come in to land!!

Laganas Beach is a wide sandy beach with shallow and clear waters, perfect for swimming and relaxing. The area is lively, with many bars, restaurants, and water sports options, so there is always something to do. It can get crowded, especially during peak season, but the atmosphere is fun and vibrant. A great spot if you enjoy long walks by the sea, good food nearby, and a mix of relaxation and entertainment.

The photos are taken after a storm. The beach is covered with sand and a few clams. You don't need special shoes for going into the sea as the first meters are with sand and clams, but after that it's only sand. There are multiple restaurant/beach clubs which offer sunbeds for 10 euro/person, drinks not included.

The greek restaurant Porto Limnionas Tavern has a rustic feel, with its red roof-tiled houses clustered around a stocky 14th-century church, and offers delicious seafood.
Amazing place! Views are spectacular if you can get to the bottom beach area it's stunning, but still great views from top, very steep hill to climb down so avoided that! Only people eating food can sit at the balcony tables, so if drinking only it's an internal room, so advice would be to get food there and enjoy the scenery it's beautiful and worth it! Lots of sunbeds available too on the decking areas,
Wendy D — Google review
Well the setting is absolutely stunning, the taverna is located in a very beautiful location. We arrived just before 10am and there was ample parking in the car park (we visited at the end of June), the drive down is on a windy narrow road. There are terraced areas with sunloungers and cabanas that take in the wonderful views of the coastline, these cost us 30 euro for 3. A cabana is 40 euro. The loungers are comfortable and there is plenty of shade. You need to get here fairly early as by 11am all of the loungers were taken. You can order food and drinks to you seat, from the friendly young staff. We did notice one of the more senior members of staff constantly shouting at the young staff which seemed unnecessary and wasn't very relaxing. The sea here is beautiful but it can be quite chilly, beach shoes are ideal to climb in and out off the rocks. Unfortunately there is no shower to wash off after swimming in the sea. The toilets were good in the morning but needed a clean by about 3pm. The taverna served very tasty food but the service wasn't great, we felt rushed even though the place was only half full. We spoke to senior staff as there was a slight problem with the card transaction and they were very unhelpful, which was a shame. This place has the potential to be a 5 🌟 location but I feel the service let's it down.
Lizzy B — Google review
The setting at Porto Limionas is absolutely stunning the views and crystal clear waters are by far the highlight and worth the visit on their own. We booked a cabana which was comfortable and gave us a great spot to enjoy the scenery. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. When we arrived, the lady who greeted us came across as quite condescending and even a little rude, which was not the warm welcome we were hoping for. The waiter who looked after us later was genuinely kind and attentive, which made a big difference, but sadly this wasn’t consistent with the rest of the staff. The waitress we interacted with also seemed unfriendly and dismissive. As for the drinks the cocktails were disappointing for the price. Given the location and cost, we expected better quality and balance in the flavors. Overall, Porto Limionas is worth a stop for the breathtaking views and waters, but the tavern itself really needs to improve on both service and drinks to match the beauty of its surroundings.
Jack C — Google review
The view at Porto Limnionas Tavern is beautiful, but the food was only slightly above average. We also felt a bit rushed by the staff, and the lady who welcomed us came across as a bit rude. The service could definitely be improved. For now, I’d recommend visiting just once, mainly for the scenery rather than the overall experience.

Beautiful bay, but very disappointing service We only wanted to have a coffee and a glass of water during lunchtime, but unfortunately, the staff was unfriendly and dismissive from the start. We didn’t receive any sweetener with the coffee, and when I politely asked for it, their attitude became even worse – as if we were bothering them. The bay itself is absolutely beautiful, but the poor atmosphere made us decide not to stay for a swim. We waited over 30 minutes for the coffee, which was overpriced and not even good. Several other guests around us were also complaining about their lunch, so we didn’t feel like ordering any food ourselves. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Please beware, they charge for the bread that you bring to the table even if you dont ask them to. A food is OK, I was not really the fan of it, however the wait time was a little bit too much, and the staff was not so kind either. There was always a huge line at the bathroom and there was no warm water or any paper towels to dry your hands. I would not really recommend it to be honest.

The food was excellent and reasonably priced – we had sausages with fries and a delicious Frigania for dessert. Highly recommend! Sunbeds were €20 per set (July 2025). However, a heads-up: while the setting is idyllic, some staff members are quite unfriendly and more focused on chasing away non-paying visitors than creating a welcoming atmosphere. Luckily, we were served by a kind and helpful young woman, a great reminder that it’s the people who truly make a place special. Despite the mixed service experience, I recommend Porto Limnionas and truly hope to return one day.

If you're on the hunt for authentic Italian cuisine in Laganas, look no further than Bonanza. This charming eatery is renowned for its homemade pizzas that truly stand out, alongside a delightful selection of pastas—all offered at incredibly affordable prices. It's no wonder that Bonanza consistently ranks among the top dining spots in Zante. Plus, if you have an Uncharted Zante wristband, be sure to flash it for some fantastic discounts!
We ended up eating here because we saw the place a bit crowded and the people must go to a place where you can eat well. The service was awesome, the waiters were very polite, helpful and joyful. What I can say is that the gyros tasted good but it was a bit chewy. The prawns with tomato sauce came half peeled on the backside, and you had to do a lot of messy work to get the meat outs mind you while fully covered in tomato sauce . The bathroom was clean.

We had a Seafood Pizza, some pasta and two times the salmon and prawns dish. The prawns on the pizza were not peeled. It looked like a pizza margarita with some seafood dropped on top and it had no flavour. The same applies for the salmon and prawns dish, the prawns were not peeled and also difficult to peel. The potato wedges and rice was also very dry. The salmon itself was ok though and the pasta was also nice. In general it was kind of disappointing.

Restaurant
Porto Schiza is a highly recommended spot for witnessing one of the most breathtaking sunsets. The staff is known for their exceptional politeness and helpfulness, adding to the overall experience. The restaurant offers delicious grilled squid with Greek-style baked potatoes and tender fried squid. It's advisable to arrive early to secure a table with the best view as it can get busy during peak times. Additionally, visitors can enjoy authentic Greek cuisine, warm hospitality, and a romantic ambiance while taking in the stunning sunset.
we traveled acroas the whole island just to catch the sunset there… it was such a memorable experience, I don’t think I’ll ever forget it. The same family has been running the place for 40 years, putting their hearts and souls into every table, dish, to every welcoming smile. the food was outstanding and the view… breathtaking. thank you for making our stay so memorable, I truly cannot wait to visit you again! :)

We stopped by on our bikes, and even though they weren’t officially open yet, they kindly served us a cold beer. The view from here is the best on the entire island – absolutely breathtaking. Sunsets must be incredible from this spot. A fantastic place with a truly special atmosphere!

We had an amazing time at Porto Schiza Tavern! The food options are wide and local-based and the staff was really friendly. But the most special thing was the view, we enjoyed an impeccable sunset and a beautiful atmosphere. Just a little reminder, even if you go in august, bring a jacket if you go for dinner, as the sea's breeze gets a bit chilly.

We reserved a table for 5 to have dinner and watch the sunset. The food was very fresh and also very reasonably priced. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the views were absolutely stunning Food highlights: courgette balls, mixed seafood grill with dorade as a special highlight

The most remarkable part of our experience here was the sunset, absolutely amazing view. The food was good, but the waiter not so friendly. The road to the taverna is quite difficult even more at night.

Cozy restaurant at the bay, Rabbit was very tasty, but the portion was a bit small, the other dishes were also very good and bigger portions. Good and friendly service!
Juan R — Google review
Food was really good! Portion sizes were good for what you pay for. Service was really good and friendly- we had a 3.5 year old who was getting a bit restless and they immediately came over with a game for him to play. We went there slightly earlier than normal so there wasn’t many other people there. But the music was still playing and had a very good atmosphere. Thank you so much!

A very cozy place right in the port, with a great vibe overall. The menu is varied and there are many dishes to choose from, perfect for all. There are many fish dishes to try, including local fish. The dessert is to die for! And the staff is super friendly and outgoing, speaking perfect English.

A cute restaurant right next to the beach. Nice food and cocktails which were reasonably priced. Service was good, the right amount of attention without being rushed. The passionfruit mojitos certainly went down a treat

A nice place with a view over harbor. The stuff was very efficient and quite friendly. The meat was dry and not tasty, the fried potatoes were too salty, while the tzaziki sauce and vegatbles were fresh and delitious.
Anja Z — Google review
Food was kind of not very nice, like it didn't taste good. The salmon came with a weird teriyaki sauce and was dry. My seafood pasta had sharp pieces of shell in it. The white wine came out WARM and was disgusting. The best bit was the cats causing a commotion nearby.

Right on the waterfront, open from bfast to late. It was the only restaurant open for order at 10.30 in town. Food is good
