“Take a journey through a frozen maze of towering ice formations, jagged ridges, and deep blue crevasses!” Probably one of the most incredible experiences we’ve had.

Navagio beach, also known as Shipwreck beach is an exposed cove and is sometimes referred to as Smugglers Cove. A little bit of history about how this beach got its name… The shipwreck itself is the MV Panagiotis, a freightliner which ran aground in the waters around Zakynthos Island right on Navagio Beach after stormy weather and bad visibility on October 2, 1980. The beach’s alternate name, Smugglers Cove come from stories of contraband… Read More
