Navagio Beach Viewpoint

A very impressive view. Plan on going 5 to 7 pm so that the sun is shining in the best direction, and there are no tour boats in the bay to detract from the amazing nature in your photos. The walk back is up a steep hill, so only try it if you are in condition enough to handle it. I would NOT recommend bringing young children because you will probably have to carry them up the hill back to your car, and the viewing point is too dangerous for them.

I had the chance to visit Navagio twice, and each visit offered a completely different experience. The first time, I went during peak hours. While the view from the cliffs is undeniably spectacular, the sheer number of people gathering near the edge made it feel a bit chaotic and, frankly, uncomfortable. There are no safety barriers, and with everyone pushing for the perfect photo, it can get a little nerve-racking. My second visit was early in the morning, just after sunrise — and what a difference that made. There was no one else around, and the atmosphere was absolutely magical. The light was soft, the sea calm, and the silence made the place feel almost sacred. It was one of the most memorable travel moments I’ve had. If you’re planning to visit, I highly recommend going early in the day. You’ll get the same breathtaking views without the crowds — and you’ll truly feel the magic of the place.

The most beautiful view! Go once before sunset and second time after 12 o'clock at noon. Absolutely stunning water views! Be careful though with your pictures! Apply sunscreen if you go at noon! Highly recommend to wear sneakers instead of flip flops and sandals. At sunset the parking is mostly free but around noon it's an absolute nightmare to find place to park. The view is worth it though.

Navagio Viewpoint is hands-down the most jaw-dropping coastal view I’ve ever seen, so breathtaking that I visited twice—once at sunset and once during the day. Each time felt like stepping into a completely different world! During the day, the turquoise waters of Shipwreck Beach shimmer in 50 shades of blue, revealing every vibrant detail, while at sunset, the scene transforms into a warm, golden spectacle that’s pure magic. I could also see and hear wild goats in the distance, their calls echoing through the cliffs, adding a raw, wild charm to the experience. The best views come just beyond the official barriers, where the scenery is even more spectacular, but extreme caution is needed—there are photos commemorating several people who tragically lost their lives here, so stay safe and avoid risky areas near the cliff edge. The sheer beauty of the scene, framed by lush greenery and dramatic cliffs, left me speechless—it’s an absolute must-see in Zakynthos. The viewpoint is easily accessible by car, with a small parking area nearby, but it gets crowded, so arrive early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the rush and enjoy the view in peace. A tip: bring a camera or phone with a good zoom to capture the shipwreck details, and watch your step near the edge, as the drop is steep with only a basic fence for safety in the main area. There’s a small snack bar nearby for drinks, but it’s pricey, so pack your own water. Highly recommend visiting both at sunset and during the day for two unforgettable perspectives of this iconic spot!

First of all: The actual view is beautiful. Everything else - such as getting to that view - problematic. Just be aware of that. I can recommend getting there between 9:30 and 10:30. Not too crowded, parking possible. There is one big parking spot - if that one is full you can park on the side of the street. There are some shops where you can get ice cream or drinks. From the „legal“ path its basically impossible to get a nice view. And we all want that perfect photo. So sadly there is no real way but to go a bit beside the fence (safely!) to get a quick look. Obviously its very crowded but worth a visit anyways!

This is one of the most famous beaches in Greece! It's on many postcards! The actual beach is now closed for visitors because of safety concerns as the cliffs have been collapsing recently. The view point is amazing! They have built a safe path to it! The views from there are just stunning 🤩!!! Highly recommend visiting! It can get busy so you need to get lucky otherwise just a bit of wait till your turn 👍. There are couple of coffee shops where you can get refreshments and ice-cream and have it while enjoying the stunning views.

Heaven! A must see! Breathtaking, wonderful view, incredible heights, unreal water color! Be very careful where you take photos. Beyond the fenced area it can be extremely dangerous and fatal.

I have never seen such a blue coast. The gradient coastline is unforgettable. The only downside is that it is raining today and the sky is cloudy.
