One of Greece's most iconic beaches is about to undergo its biggest transformation in decades.
Euronews – Plans to extend Zakynthos' iconic Navagio Beach by 30 metres aim to preserve its rusting shipwreck for future generations, as visitors continue to be barred from the popular island attraction because of safety concerns.
Authorities have unveiled plans to extend Zakynthos' world-famous Navagio Beach in a bid to protect its legendary shipwreck from erosion, while the beauty spot remains closed to visitors over ongoing landslide fears.
Plans are in place to expand the popular beach by 30 metres towards the sea, using gravel.
The announcement comes as the beach remains closed for the 2026 summer season. Greek authorities made the decision to ban boats and swimmers from visiting until 31 October, due to safety concerns.
