The best view


Now there are places you visit around the world and pictures you take, but there aren't many that where you stand, you wish you could capture the whole feel; the sea breeze, the hot air, the nerves as you step on that platform on the edge of the cliff and the delight as you melt into one of the most spectacular views you set your eyes upon.
Them are the feels as you visit this place.
Picture this: A breathtaking and astounding colleseum of cliffs, pearly white, made of pure limestone with the whitest of beaches in the centre. The most aqua blue, clear and clean with the boats as if they are floating on air.
Then the deeper, darker blue, in the distance; wishing you can just dive in!
And minus the tourism boats and the specs of people, the view is almost perfect, a hidden gem, glittering on the coast.
And there it lays, perfectly placed in the centre of the beach, decaying into the sands, a shipwreck from times gone by....
 
 
And as the yachts and posh boats come in to see the crystal clear waters and the shipwreck you get an idea of the scale of the place.
 
 With coral to snorkel with and an X visible from above, marking the spot of hidden treasure. But the treasure has already been found. The location.
 
 
But to get to this hidden cove, with shipwreck and clear waters you have to enter by sea. There is no access by land and this small concrete platform over the edge provides the only glimpse of the treasure from land.
 
It is a magical and astounding place to visit. A must see. A Best View.
 
Zakynthos, Greece. Shipwreck Cove.
Is it what you pictured?
