"The focal point is the hulking, weathered hull of a freighter that ran aground in the early 1980s and now sits in the middle of a crescent bay a few yards from the tideline. Sheer cliffs surround the cove, so it’s only accessible by boat; numerous local providers run trips, creating a steady summer stream of visitors (access can be limited when work is underway to prevent landslides). The rusted ship set against bright-blue Ionian waters and bone-white sand creates a striking, must-see sight." - Lila Harron Battis Lila Harron Battis Lila Harron Battis is a writer and editor.
