If you want to get to the Shipwreck beach and swim in the turquoise blue there is only ONE way - by sea. There are multiple tour companies that offer boat trips (at a low price) to this most famous beach in Greece. You'll also visit other beautiful places off Zakynthos' coast - like Blue Caves and Xygia Sulfur Beach. All of them are spectacular, however the unbeatable number one is of course Navagio. Now, after visiting the beach itself, you must see it from the top! You'll see how amazingly beautiful it is - so much better than from the sea level. Unfortunately, the Navagio beach is located on the other side of the capital of Zakynthos (which has the same name). You must think however, it will be so easy to find a tour or a public bus that goes there - it's the most famous spot in Greece after all! You couldn't be more wrong. There are no buses to Naviagio at all. The best idea is to rent a car and drive around. The problems start if you don't drive. You can get a public bus to the village of Anafonitria from the island's capital, and then walk almost 5 km (3 miles) to get to the viewing platform. The buses are quite unreliable and rare, however. Another alternative is a taxi - it will be a bit pricey, especially if you travel alone but if you can share it among 4 people, it should be OK. To get a taxi from Zakynthos town and back with 1 hour of time to explore and enjoy the area will cost 100 EUR.
