How to get to Shipwreck Beach

If you want to get to Shipwreck Beach (also called Navagio) by sea, there are 2 solutions: by excursion or by renting a boat.

How to get to Shipwreck Beach by excursion

There are 3 ports from where excursions to the Shipwreck Beach depart: Porto Vromi (West Coast Tour), Port of S. Nikolaos (North Coast Tour) and Port of Zakynthos Town. Porto Vromi and the port of S. Nikolaos can only be reached by private vehicle (car, scooter or quad) and require about 50 minutes drive from Zakynthos town. The port of Zakynthos Town can be reached by public transport or by shuttle service included in the ticket price. For those looking for a less touristy experience we recommend the boats that depart from Porto Vromi and S. Nikolaos, as the boats have a maximum capacity of 50 seats and reach the Shipwreck Beach more quickly, while from the Zakynthos Town port boats have a capacity between 150 and 300 passengers and not only do they require twice the time to reach the most famous beach of the island but at each swimming stop it takes more time to get off and on the boat .. Here is a list of ports, with a description of the excursion and the pros / cons.
