Blue Flag
Symbol of the perfect seaside holiday

Clean bathing water and beaches are essential for an enjoyable seaside holiday. Since 1987, the Blue Flag has been ensuring that water quality, beach cleaning and waste disposal are all of high quality, from sandy beaches in Greece or France to yachting marinas in Italy or Germany. The holiday resort provide visitors with up to date information and commitments to preserving other aspects of the coastal environment as well. In 2002 more than 2.000 beaches and 727 marinas were rewarded a Blue Flag.

Blue Flag is an internationally recognized symbol for both high environmental standards and good sanitary and safety measurements.
