Navagio Beach is the defining landmark of Zakynthos. Located on the island's northwestern coast, its dramatic cove is known for the wreck of a freightliner that ran aground in 1983, an event which gave the beach its name — Navagio, Greek for 'shipwreck'. Before this maritime mishap, the beach was known as Agios Georgios. There are two ways to appreciate this miracle of nature. To swim in the turquoise waters and approach the rusty shell of MV Panagiotis, you must travel by boat. For a panoramic birds-eye view, travel by car to a viewing platform high up in the white cliffs.

The Super DC-3 aircraft crashed into Sólheimasandur back in 1973, thankfully leaving its seven crew members unharmed. Since then the empty husk of a plane has been left exposed to the elements, rusting away in constant humidity and cracking from constant freezes and thaws. The wreckage is a particularly beloved spot by local and visiting photographers thanks to its sparse and wild surrounding black sand landscape and its incredible visual contrast to the aircraft’s gnarled metal carcass. To visit the plane wreck, you can join organised hiking, horse riding or ATV riding tours, take a bus or get there by yourself. Remember, that driving over the sands is considered to be driving off-road and carries heavy fines. Lastly, the wreck is located pretty close to the village of Vik made famous after a popular Netflix series Katla.
