Top 10 Blue Flag beaches in Greece

The Blue Flag is an internationally recognized eco-label awarded to beaches and marinas that meet high environmental standards by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) in Europe. A Blue Flag beach indicates that the water quality is excellent, free from any sewage or industrial waste, and meets bathing water standards. Today, Blue Flag beaches have become synonymous with high-quality beaches, attracting tourists from all over the world. Let's take a look at the top 10 most beautiful Blue Flag beaches in Greece!

Paradise Beach

Paradise Beach boasts picturesque scenery, abundant sunshine, and complete facilities. Various lively music and dance events ignite the atmosphere. It was once a famous gay beach, but due to the influx of curious tourists, the gatherings have moved to the southern coast of Mykonos, creating a new spot called 'Super Paradise Beach.' Despite this, Paradise Beach remains one of the most popular destinations, with its fame only growing. If you are a good swimmer, you can bring a mask and swim 15-20 meters to see beautiful coral reefs, making it one of the diving spots here.

Lalaria Beach

Lalaria means 'pebble' in Greek, which is also the origin of the beach's name. From this, it can be inferred that the pebbles on Lalaria Beach are one of its main features. The authorities in Skiathos have even issued a stern warning: if you are caught taking a pebble from Lalaria Beach, you will be fined $1100.

Sarakiniko Beach

Sarakiniko Beach is the best photo spot in the Aegean Sea area - the bright white rocks have been eroded, leaving traces of time. The uneven rocks give an illusion of the lunar surface, and they look particularly beautiful against the surrounding blue-green seawater.
Navagio Beach is the most famous attraction in Zakynthos, Greece. In 1983, the smuggling ship Panagiotis ran aground here while transporting cigarettes, giving the place its name 'Shipwreck Beach'. The steep cliffs, crystal-clear blue waters, and white sandy beach, along with the rusted old ship lying across the shore, create a stunning visual impact for visitors.

Myrtos Beach

Just a few steps away from the beautiful village of Assos, it is the most beautiful beach on the island of Kefalonia. The picturesque mountain scenery is another unique feature of this beach.

Collins Beach

A natural beach formed by waves and sea breeze, with clear and clean seawater. The white houses on the shore do not give a sense of oppression at all. The white of the houses and the blue of the sea blend perfectly. It is also a pleasure to look for the reflections of the houses in the water!

Canal d'Amour Beach

A beach formed by fine soft sand between two canyons. Its name means 'Canal of Love'. According to legend, whoever swims between the canyon crevices will see a crack appear on the sea surface. This crack is said to be another door leading to the love journey of their life.

Kachiki Beach

The afterglow of the sunset dyes Kachiki Beach in a reddish-orange hue. It is very atmospheric.

Balos Beach

Balos Lagoon is located at the northwest corner of Crete Island. The emerald water and pink sand beach blend together beautifully, creating a dreamy and romantic atmosphere with unique characteristics. There is a huge castle by the coast; climbing up offers an unbeatable sea view that is breathtaking at first sight. At night, the sea water under the afterglow of the sunset exudes a lazy and gentle beauty. The beach is gentle, and the sea water is lonely, together forming a bright and charming scenery that is captivating without being glaring.

Void Kera Beach

The beach here is semi-circular, exquisite and perfect, without artificial decorations. The natural scenery here has not been artificially developed and still retains its original appearance. The beach is naturally fresh, with few artificial facilities, but enough to accommodate tourists.
