Why is Shipwreck Beach famous?
Why is Shipwreck Beach famous? Navagio was once named Agios Georgios, getting its new name from a shipwreck that was washed ashore in 1980! The ship MV Panagiotis said to have been smuggling large amounts of contraband cigarettes, was abandoned by its crew due to poor weather conditions and trouble with the local navy authorities!
Why is the water at Shipwreck Beach so blue?
Waters around Navagio often have electric light blue colour because of the numerous sulphurous caves around the beach and when the sea is rising a large quantity of sulphur radiates, giving the possibility of taking beautiful pictures.
