"Market Madness"

You too Tiki :) Did you know the iBox pick was of Shipwreck Cove in Zante Greece? Beautiful pix... ( http://fiveprime.org/hivemind/Tags/greece,shipwreck )

"Almost every visitor to Zante goes to see the notorious SHIPWRECK COVE or NAVAGIO, subject of more Zante postcards than you can shake a beach umbrella at.

Few are disappointed at the romantic scene with a beach of steep white pebbles nestling between vertiginous white cliffs. The wreck itself is rather less romantic, merely an old steamer that struck the beach while on a cigarette and booze smuggling expedition. It ran aground in poor weather while being chased by a Greek navy patrol boat.

But the setting is perfect with a small sandy beach and steep cliffs all around. There are no roads to this spot and the only access is by boat.

Photos of an empty beach are difficult to get now as tour boats arrive every hour on the hour and the place is normally heaving with bodies.

Views from the cliffs above are also far more dramatic than those from a boat arriving for its allowed slot of 60mins but few are willing to slog up and down the steep cliff path."
