Cyprus has the cleanest beaches in Europe

The European Environment Agency (EEA) has ranked Cyprus as number one for the cleanest beaches in Europe. According to their report, 99.1% of Cypriot bathing waters are of excellent quality, specifically 112 out of the 113 bathing waters were classed as excellent and one was not classified.

The quality of Cyprus beaches have been consistently high for years, as the island has been complying with the strictest criteria since joining the EU in 2004.

Agriculture Minister Costas Kadis has reported that “There is a direct correlation between the quality of bathing water and tourism, and therefore the excellent results are very important not only for the health of bathers and the environment but also the economy of Cyprus, which is linked to the quality of our sea and tourism activity.”

Cyprus commitment to improve the quality of its coast and sea does not stop there. So far, 65 beaches in the island are eco-labeled with a Blue Flag which means that a series of stringent environmental, educational, safety, and accessibility criteria are met and maintained.
