The Best Beaches in Zakynthos

Zakynthos, located in the Ionian Islands of Greece, is home to some of the most picturesque beaches in the world. Navagio Beach, also known as Shipwreck Beach, is a must-see attraction for tourists. The beach is secluded and can only be accessed by boat. It features a stunning shipwreck, white sand, and sapphire blue waters, all thanks to the sulfur from nearby sea caves. Visitors should be cautious and avoid walking to the cliff's edge as it can crumble easily. Our guide below provides a complete list of beaches to explore.
