The first review I've ever left so I'll get straight to the point. I'm currently on this trip and it is the worst trip that I have ever been on. We've been bobbing around in the sea for about 4 hours now, going nowhere in particular; we haven't made the ship wreck beach Occasionally the crew are letting people jump off the back of the boat for a swim whilst the boat drifts away from the worried swimmers. Ocean swimming with 2 kids was not what this trip was supposed to be about.

The most famous Zakinthos’s beach is not the best beach to visit in August, we went there by boat and before we approached, we saw not the beach but a crowded barrier of big boats, touristic round trip boats, and many people either on the beach or in the shallow…unfortunately it’s August, impossible take a picture, impossible approach the beach, impossible swimming.

Such a beautiful place, must visit in Zakinthos. We took a group boat trip to the beach with a stop to swim in caves. The beach itself was very crowded so this is not about visiting a place to chill, but it worth seeing it because the water color is incredible and the whole journey is amazing. It isn’t sandy and I’d recommend to bring water shoes.

Wonderful beach!! one of the best in the world! There are boats that can take you there. The deep blue colour of the water is one of a kind which works perfect with the white sand. A must visit if you are in the area.

Zakynthos is great but this is a tourist trap. Long waits to see nothing special. Color of the water is grand though and worth a quick peak

We did book a tour with TUI, combining blue caves and this beach. It was a good and satisfying experience. However a few days later we took a rental car to see the beach from above (from the land) and that was a waste of time. Line up for 45 minutes to see a glimpse...not worth the time. Please take a tour by ship or rent a boat to visit it! Pro tip, wear water-shoes on this beach since the gravel was quite hurtful to our feet. Also you will get wet when you enter the beach, so wear swim-clothing or clothes that can get wet.

Absolutelly crowded and full of people anytime, jeopardizing an exclusive natural paradise. I went to the earliest session arounf 10 am, and the beach was already full with stressful atmosphere of boats going up and down. You don’t feel in a paradisse in such situations.

Great beach amazing views just make sure you wear shoes 👟 not flip flops 🩴 it's a very stoney beach 🏝 which really hurts soles of your feet in the heat and you find yourself sinking into the sand it's not what you expect

I’m going back to zante in 2 weeks my daughter really wants to go to shipwreck beach can anyone tell me how long the trip is I no they usually involve visiting the blue caves is it usually about 4hrx in total I can swim but don’t feel confident in deep water do u have to get off the boat ? And does the boat dock right near the edge to access the beach I really want to take her cause it’s her 16th birthday while we’re there but feel nervous cause I don’t like the sea

Hi there you can do a morning trip half a day or you can do a full day trip which yes both include the blue caves.
Yes the boat takes you right to the water's edge and you step off onto the sand . It's very Shelly sand so make sure you have either wet surfing type shoes on or thick flip flops or trainers.
We took a packed lunch and lots of drinks in our bags , however, you can buy these on board the boats if you want to also as there is drop off time . You can swim or just stay on the sand and take photos whilst waiting for the boat to come back .
Take plenty of sun cream and wear hats too 👒
Have a great time 👍

So it looks like there's no cheap ways to go for backpackers? I guess it can only be reached by comfortable holiday makers.

Hello
There is no public transport !
Walking very far, this is the other side of the island. Possible only by taxi or rental transport ...
When driving to shipwreck beach from laganas, is it a clear route? roughly how long? and with privately getting a boat there from laganas the same questions! would really appreciate a reply im so confused but really want to go!
With a boat tour, are you in a boat with other people or is it private? also to sail around Navagio would i have to hire the boat myself and sail it back to Laganas?

It is not very difficult to get to the viewingpoint by foot. The way back is the hardest. Especially with warm weather. Take enough water with you!
Buenas a todos! Quería saber si es posible ir desde Kefalonia en una excursión de día ya que me dijeron que es mucho más linda está isla pero no me quiero perder de la playa navagio! Muchas gracias

Si, Bianca, hay tours en barco q salen de Cefalonia, te llevan a dar una vuelta alrededor de Zante y que te lleva a playa Navaggio.

I'm going there in June. Me and my friend are wondering, how to get from Laganas to Shipwreck beach? Is it an awful idea to rent a quad bike, and make a quad bike adventure (meaning, stopping to other beaches if we want to) and see the island from a different view. Is traveling by quad bikes "safe" or at least no too dangerous for first timers? HEELP

We saw lots of quads around. You could take the quads to St Nicholas Harbor in Volimes, park the quads, take a Shipwreck Beach and Blue Caves Tour. I highly recommend Dimitris and Fay at Theodosis Cruises. You will have plenty of time on Shipwreck Beach to see and swim then see Blue Caves and swim in one on the way back. Afterwards eat at Taverna Porto and then get clear directions to the Shipwreck Beach Overlook and stop there on your way back to enjoy the view from above.

Quanto costa di solito fare un tour della spiaggia intera

Circa 20/25 euro; dipende dalla tipologia di imbarcazione. Se è molto grande, ovviamente costa meno.
Se invece vuoi un viaggio privato con skipper, allora i prezzi aumentano .

Здравствуйте, я бы хотела вас спросить. А вообще реально приплыть на пляж одному? И если да то как???

Да, вы можете самостоятельно, без всяких групп, приплыть в это место. Для этого вам нужно арендовать лодку. Если нет прав - то со штурманом
