Greece
Navagio Beach
A shipwreck rests on white sand beneath limestone cliffs accessible only by boat.
This crescent of powdered marble sits cradled between towering limestone walls, where a rusted freighter has become the beach's unlikely centerpiece. The water shifts from deep sapphire to electric turquoise as boats arrive throughout the day, their engines echoing off the cliffs before cutting to silence.
