Excellent water purity at bathing sites in Greece

2025-08-09 20:56:01

High bathing water purity is an important consideration when choosing a vacation destination. Besides its beautiful beaches, Greece also boasts excellent water quality. A full 97% of monitored coastal and inland waters in Greece were classified as "excellent" in the annual report by the European Environment Agency (EEA).

Thanks to this result, Greece has once again returned to the top three best-rated countries, having dropped to fourth place the previous year. This return to the podium demonstrates that the Greeks are committed to water quality and have made up for their shortcomings.

The EEA report summarizes water quality in 29 European countries monitored. A total of 21,848 designated bathing areas in Europe were assessed, which is 0.4% more than in the previous year. Across the European Union, over 85% of all monitored bathing areas—both coastal and inland—were rated as excellent. The improvement in bathing water quality is the result of years of implementing the EU Bathing Water Directive, monitoring the status of bacteria such as E. coli and enterococci, and significant investments in wastewater treatment plants and water and wastewater infrastructure.

Cyprus took first place, with 99.2% of its water quality rated as "excellent." Bulgaria came second with 97.9%. Fourth and fifth places went to Austria (95.8%) and Croatia (95.2%), respectively.

Albania scored the lowest, with only 16% of bathing sites rated excellent and 23% as poor. Poor water quality is largely the result of inadequate sewage treatment, which negatively impacts the quality of coastal and inland waters.

The EEA emphasizes that even in countries with high levels of water pollution, local incidents can occur. Therefore, to protect public health during the summer season, the most important action is to continuously monitor water quality and issue updates as needed – such as temporary bathing bans, pollution warnings, or notices about areas excluded from regular monitoring.

Krzysztof Siewierski Żaden cud - Grecy nie usuwają nieczystości do morza. Owszem zdarzają się przypadki łamania prawa ale to margines. Biologiczne oczyszczalnie są np. większych hotelach, które nie dostaną pozwolenia na prowadzenie działalności bez posiadania swojej oczyszczalni..
