Swipreck
The Shipwreck is the most famous of Zante (Zakynthos) areas and one of the most famous photographs of Greece.
It is situated at the eastern part of Zakynthos (Zante) island. The beach took its name from the ship that, in 1983, transported illegally cigarettes and washed up on the beach that has, by the years, grown up around it. The ruins of the ship are on the middle of a beautiful white sandy beach with crystal waters. Shipwreck is surrounded by vertical rock cliffs and that makes an impressive picture.

Blue Caves On the northern part of Zakynthos island is Cape Schinari, and to the east of the cape are the Blue Caves in the region of White rock, a series of geological formations that have created a unique seascape. Apart from the natural arches that have been carved out by erosion, these caves are famous for the colour of the water in its deepest hollows, a deep azure colour which is most striking in the morning when the light is at its brightest. The biggest of the caves is the Kianoun cave. |
Caretta-Caretta The loggerhead sea turtle called Caretta-Caretta has become an endangered specie that can only be found in the Mediterranean Sea. The turtles have leaded a peaceful existence in the waters and beaches of the island.
A series of measures have been adopted by the Greek legislation in order to protect the Caretta-Caretta and the National Marine Park of Zante - Zakynthos Island in Greece has been established.
