The «Blue Flag» is a program of environmental awareness and protection which is implemented every year, on a large scale, in more than 40 countries in Europe and other parts of the world by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE).
It aims at making beaches better organized and safer for swimming, while at the same time protecting their natural environment, so that we may always enjoy them.
The Hellenic Society for the Protection of Nature (HSPN) is the operator of the program in Greece. It is the oldest conservation organization in the country and has been active in environmental education and the protection of nature since 1951.
It is not easy for a beach to be awarded the «Blue Flag». It must meet 32 strict criteria, which have to do with the cleanliness of the sea and beach, its organisation, the safety of its visitors, the protection of nature and environmental awareness. Even when a beach is awarded the «Blue Flag», it only keeps it that year and must prove that it deserves it for the following year. The inspectors of HSPN and FEE visit beaches throughout the bathing period and note any problems or shortcomings. Usually a short period of grace is given to correct them, but a beach may temporarily, or even permanently, lose its flag for serious deficiencies.
