This year, as many as 545 Greek beaches, 16 marinas and 6 tourist ships have been awarded. Therefore, Greece is responsible for 13.5% of the global number of awards.
This year, 49 countries took part in the Blue Flag program. In total, in 2021, the distinctive flag will fly on 4,040 beaches, in 707 marinas and 78 cruise ships around the world. This year's awards were announced via the Internet.

120 honors in Crete

When it comes to Crete, this year you will see the Blue Flags in 120 places, which means that Crete slightly improved last year's result. In the case of the Chania and Rethymno prefectures, the number of awarded beaches has not changed compared to 2020. In the Chania region you will see the flag on 33 beaches, in the Rethymno region on 18 beaches.

A slight increase in the awarded places was recorded in the Prefecture of Heraklion, where the award was granted on 29 beaches. The Lassithi Prefecture has also a better result, with a total of 40 places awarded this year. This prefecture receives the highest number of awards each year. This is where the only award-winning Cretan marina is located in Agios Nikolaos. At the end of the article, you will find a list of all the featured Cretan beaches.

34 years of the Blue Flag program

Awards have been granted since 1987 to those beaches and marinas that meet stringent requirements and criteria. Over the last several years, the Blue Flag has become the most recognizable and popular international symbol of high-quality beaches and marinas in the world. A uniform standard for this award was developed in 2001 by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) in Denmark. In Greece, the Blue Flag is awarded by the Greek Society for Nature Conservation (EEPF).

Blue Flag

The birth of an idea

The history of this award dates back to 1985, when the idea of distinguishing coastal municipalities characterized by high water quality was born in France. Two years later, in 1987, this idea took off as an official European program known as the Blue Flag. Initially, the awards were to be an incentive for bathing water managers to meet the requirements of the European Council directive on the reduction of pollution of bathing water and its protection against further pollution (Council Directive 76/160 / EEC of 8 December 1975). Over the next several years, the simple and clear concept of marking the best beaches and marinas was also positively received by tourists in the European Union. Work has begun on changes to the rules allowing for the introduction of this distinction in other countries around the world. Since 2001, after establishing uniform rules, this sign has become an international symbol of the best beaches.

Raising a blue flag

What criteria must the beach meet to receive the Blue Flag award?

Applicant beaches must meet the 33 criteria imposed by FEE (38 for marinas). The prerequisite for this award is excellent water quality. No other quality classification, not even "good", is acceptable. Below we present the most important criteria that are taken into account. They are divided into four issues within which detailed conditions are specified.

Clean sea and coast

Coastal organization

Guest safety

Nature protection and taking care of the natural environment

Paulina Durda Jeśli nie ma jakiejś plaży to znaczy nie że nie spełniła wymaganych kryteriów. Bywa i tak.

 Byłam. W zależności od wielkości fal, przejście nie zawsze jest takie łatwe. Bardzo ślisko może być. Ale warto. I stamtąd obowiązkowo jeździmy na jezioro Kournas.

gość dodekanezowiec  Wybierając różne kraje pod kątem pogody, to wiem że np. w czerwcu lepiej Grecję niż Kanary (cieplejsza woda), a w listopadzie lepiej Kanary (cieplej i słoneczniej).  Z innej beczki - u nas ten listopad też za ciepły nie był.

gość PiotrWie  No to widać cały czas chodzą niezbyt odpowiedzialnie ( choć u nas też się to często zdarza, pewnie bardziej jest to związane z wiekiem niż z narodowością. Kreteńczy są bardzo sympatyczni i uczynni, ale często widywałem grupki z niewielkimi zapasami wody za to z raki. (...)
