9The Shipwreck That Made It Famous
Navagio Beach gets its nickname from the wreck of the MV Panagiotis, a smuggler’s ship that allegedly transported contraband cigarettes and alcohol.
The ship ran aground in 1980, and over time, the wreck became a landmark. Today, it rests in the middle of the beach, surrounded by fine white sand, adding to the mysterious allure of the location.
