8The Eponymous Shipwreck
The beach earned its popular moniker due to the presence of a shipwrecked vessel, the MV Panagiotis, which ran aground in the early 1980s. The ship, alleged to have been involved in smuggling operations, adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the already enchanting landscape. The rusting hull, partially buried in the sand, provides a unique focal point for visitors and serves as a poignant reminder of the island’s maritime history.
