Greece’s beaches and marinas have consistently scored high with an impressive number of beaches and marinas being awarded Blue Flags.
It is likely that any region in Greece you choose to visit there is a Blue-Flag awarded beach: from the beaches and marinas near Athens, along the Attica coastline, to the regions of the Peloponnese, Northern and Mainland Greece, the islands of the Cylcades, Ionian and Dodecanese, and others.
The Blue Flag is an exclusive eco-label awarded by the non-profit Foundation for Environmental Education to beaches and marinas in 46 countries across Europe, South Africa, Morocco, Tunisia, New Zealand, Brazil, Canada and the Caribbean that meet strict criteria regarding:
• Environmental Education and Information
• Water Quality
• Environmental Management
• Safety and Services
On Naxos, of the three beaches that were submitted for certification, all three received Blue Flags. These are Agios Prokopios, Agios Georgios and Agia Anna’s Maranga beach.
Consistency is key because if the criteria are not met at any time during the season or the conditions change, the Blue Flag – awarded on a per-season basis — may be withdrawn.
