Shipwreck Cove – Your next destination is Shipwreck Cove, the beautiful bay which is only accessible by sea. You’ll have around 20 minutes here to take photographs of one of the most famous landmarks in Greece – the shipwreck of the “Panayiotis” which is surrounded by a white pebble beach and turquoise waters.

The trip will start with a gentle cruise around Marathonisi and Laganas Bay where hopefully you will get the chance of spotting a turtle.
