The story behind the famous shipwreck is that the boat, the MV Panayiotis, was a smuggler ship in the 1980s that was carrying illegal contraband — cigarettes, alcohol, and even humans. Rumor has it that the ship was cornered into the cove when it was pursued by the Greek Navy.

The real story, however, might be less thrilling. According to the captain of the ship, Captain Charalambos Kompothekras-Kotsoros, his ship was not carrying any illegal goods. The ship washed ashore in on October 2, 1980 due to poor weather conditions and mechanical failures. Once the ship landed on the beach, thieves stole from his shipment.

After prosecuting the people responsible for stealing his possessions, the captain finally returned to the beach to remove his vessel. However, he was so astounded by the majestic sight of his rusting ship against the dramatic cliffs and bright blue waters that he decided to simply leave it there.
