When someone is asked which are the first two words that come to mind when the name “Greece” pops up, it is usually “sun and beaches”.

Turquoise, crystal clear, sandy or with pebbles, you name the type and the lavish Greek terrain can offer you an abundant variety.

Greece ranks 3rd out of 50 countries with the most beaches that have been awarded the “Blue Flag” worldwide, counting 395 beaches and 9 marinas in total for 2015.

What is a Blue Flag?

The Blue Flag is a prestigious award that is granted to beaches from around the world operated by the Foundation for Environmental Education.

“A world-renowned eco-label trusted by millions around the globe”

It represents beaches, coastlines and marinas that are known for their quality and environmental sustainability. The criteria for a beach to be awarded this prestigious award are, to name but a few:  beach cleanliness, bathing water quality, safety for all, respect for the environment and the preservation of the natural resources.
