The Municipality of Geroskipou is pleased to announce that, for 2021, three of its beaches have been awarded the “Blue Flag”. These beaches are the Municipal Beach, the CTO Geroskipou Beach and the beach known as “Pachyammos 2”, located in front of the Ledra Hotel.

The “Blue Flag” programme is first and foremost an education and information campaign. The Blue Flag is a symbol of high quality and good organisation of the coastline. It is awarded each year to beaches that comply with a set of criteria including bathing water quality, environmental education and information, as well as beach safety and sound management.

Each local authority wishing to take part in the programme and be awarded for a specific stretch of coast must fully understand the required criteria and apply them in full.

The official ceremony for the award of the “Blue Flags” to beaches in Cyprus took place in Neo Chorio, Paphos last Thursday, 10 June 2021.
