Shipwreck Beach: More Hollywood than holiday

Navagio Bay – also referred to as "Smugglers Cove" or “Shipwreck Beach” – has all the right ingredients: epic white cliffs, brilliantly blue waters, piercing white sands and a gorgeously rustic boat nestled at its cinematic centre.

The boat – apparently being used to transport illegal cigarettes and hastily abandoned – was washed ashore in 1983 and now forms the focal point of one of the most photographed parts of the country.

Tourists flock in numbers, but somehow it always feels remote and personal.

To reach it, take one of the hourly boat trips from Porto Vromi. In just 30 minutes, you’ll be transported to one of the most stunning beaches in the world.

The only niggling problem? You’ll never want to leave.
