The site itself, where it sits, and what to know before you plan a snorkel around it. We describe it accurately — access and conditions are verified locally, on the day.

Be straight about Navagio on the page: the snorkel here is about the dramatic setting and the clear water rather than a reef, and it's done from an anchored tour boat.
