In the drama ‘Descendants of the Sun’, Kang Mo-yeon (Song Hye-kyo) asks, “How can a place like this exist? The shipwreck on Navagio Beach, a famous tourist destination in Greece, which was once said to be “stunningly beautiful,” is in danger of being submerged under water.
According to foreign media reports such as the Greek Herald on the 27th (local time), the Navagio Beach shipwreck was severely damaged by winter waves and bad weather, and sand covered most of the hull.
The shipwreck on Navagio Beach is a famous tourist attraction on the Greek island of Zakynthos. At first it was a very small beach with black stones, but a landslide in 1922 created the current cliffs and beach. The current impressive landscape was created after a cigarette smuggling ship was shipwrecked here in 1981 while being chased by Greek authorities. It is also called ‘Shipwreck Beach’ because of the shipwreck.

In Korea, it became famous as a filming location for the drama ‘Descendants of the Sun.’ In the last episode, the shipwreck on Navagio Beach is where Kang Mo-yeon (Song Hye-kyo) and Yoo Si-jin (Song Joong-ki) sit on a boat and share a romantic kiss.
If you look at the official social media of Zakynthos Island, you can feel the sight of the shipwreck gradually disappearing.
Residents and tourist operators called on authorities to intervene immediately to protect the vessel, citing its importance to the island’s income. Some said they would volunteer to pay for the cost of managing and preserving the wreck itself.

“It’s time for the local government to take care of this place,” said Giorgos Stasinopoulos, mayor of Zakynthos. “The boat is disappearing. This is your last chance to save what’s left. At least 1.5 million tourists come to see the shipwreck in the summer. “You have to consider that if the wreck disappears, they might not come,” he said.
