The Navagio Beach viewpoint is one of those places that looks fake in photos, but somehow even better in real life. Standing at the top and looking down at the bright white shipwreck surrounded by insanely blue water is honestly jaw-dropping. The contrast between the cliffs, the sand and the water is unreal, and it’s impossible not to just stand there for a few minutes taking it all in. It does g...

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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...

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.

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.

When is the best time to visit Navagio Beach Viewpoint (Zakynthos Island, Greece)?
