Visted 09/04/23. We understand from locals that this attraction is soon to be closed except for boat visitors. This is due to slope instability and lack of safety fencing. However, we were lucky enough to get to the viewing platform without a queue and catch a picture. The view though a little scary die to height was amazing.

Sunset trip- Would recommend 100%. This tour was so wholesome. The bus drops you at the top of the hill and you walk down to a cafe and toilet area. This hill is very steep but not walkable. Suitable for everyone and shaded areas on the boat. We boarded the boat and went to shipwreck bay. After taking pictures at shipwreck bay, we visited a few caves and other beaches with 3 swim stops. Before heading further out into the sea to view the sunset. This was absolutely beautiful and the scenery was gorgeous. The crew were playing music ect throughout and on the way back we were playing upbeat music everyone was clapping and singing along.

Now this is a review for the viewing balcony only, as we’d opted to not take the boat trip having previously been told that due to safety reasons people weren’t allowed on the shipwreck /beach. It’s quite a winding and slightly hairy cliff road there, and the scrubby carpark leaves a lot to be desired - but it’s free. There are also a couple of vans selling snacks & drinks. When we arrived there was thick white mist 🌫️ swirling around the clifftops , and we worried we’d even be able to see anything at all. We had to queue for half an hour to get onto the little platform to look down from the viewpoint, as people were taking their time on it taking lots of “selfies” 🤳🏻🙄, but thankfully the mist cleared, & we were rewarded by the most exquisite colours of aquamarine & sapphire seas, in glorious technicolour. The shipwrecked boat was not the galleon of our imagination though - but simply a boat ( M V Panayiotis) that ran aground in 1980, and thus created an attraction.

It’s a stunning view. No doubt . But with so many people visiting, the infrastructure is horrid. One juice stand and some souvenirs. There are no restrooms ( yes with all those people ). Some go to the back of the shack and urinate their so lots of toilet paper in the pristine nature . The road leading there is small so beware of more than one car going in two directions, especially with tour buses . The local government also fenced off the area but most tourists just go where ever they want at their own risk . From below , you can only access with a boat and the beach itself is closed .

They canceled our cruise for bad weather so we got there by quad from Laganas. Incredible view from above, probably even better than seeing it from the sea. Bring your food or stop on your way if you’re coming from far, the spots there have raised prices.

"The photo" from high above this location is the advertisement of the island. The height with deep below the clear blue sea with a rusted shipwreck on the beach appeals to the imagination. The bay had been closed off to boats by the Coast Guard, probably due to the huge crowds of private boats and commercial day trips. The viewpoint above is one of patience. You stand in a long line, then have a protrusion that you can stand on, then stick your turtle neck far out for this well-known picture. And then through given the huge line of people behind you who also want to see this. This part of the island is green and fun to drive through.

It's a shipwreck, on an inaccessible beach, surrounded by white cliffs and blue water. That is it.... dare I say..a tad underwhelming. Also the cove was crowded with boats... Instagram dream maybe..but distinctly average. No wow moment here.

Nefis Travel picked us up at 7.30am from near our hotel. We drove to Agios Nikolas Harbour, picking people up on the way. On arrival we went to a cafe for coffee. We then boarded our high speed boats with Jason and Panagiotis, who gave interesting information and facts along the way. We headed to Shipwreck whilst being told the history, passing through a narrow cave along the way. When we reached the Shipwreck, a photo was taken of us against the backdrop of the wreck and the crystal turquoise waters. Beautiful. We had 2 swimstops and also sailed into one of the blue Caves, amazing. This is an amazing case of natural beauty. On returning to the harbour we stopped for lunch before stopping at a natural sulphuric beach with healing properties and also grabbing a frappe in the cafe. We were then all dropped off near our hotels. What a brilliant informative day, big shout out to the Nefis guide and coach driver, sorry I don't remember their names. How anyone can say just a Shipwreck, I really do not know, the tour is called Shooereck and Blue Caves and that is exactly what you got, and more. Appreciate the binaural beauty of this part of the island. Wowser.
