42. Navagio Beach: Greece
Take a secluded Greek cove and add a rusty smuggler’s hulk of a ship. What do you get? Navagio Beach.Located on the isle of Zynkathos, off the southwestern coast of Greece lie several rocky coves separated from the mainland. Navagio is one of them and the scene is intriguing and serene, partly due to the decaying ship. Panagiotis crashed on the scenic shore in 1983 smuggling booze, cigarettes and possibly humans. Authorities picked up the scent and gave chase through bad weather until the ship ran aground in the cove. It’s been there since, calling tourists and locals like a siren to see the smugglers remains. However, if you want to spy the ship it’s only accessible from sea. Yet, most tours offer day trips.
