From tourist magnet to disaster: World-famous shipwreck broke apart on Zakynthos. Every year, Navagio Beach in Smugglers' Bay attracts around one and a half million visitors.
The wreck of the coaster "Panagiotis", which was stranded off the island in 1980 and abandoned by its crew, broke up in a violent winter storm. Professor Efthymios Lekkas, president of geology and environment at Kapodistrias University in Athens, warns that the entire beach will disappear with the wreck.
