After more than a decade, the Municipality of Zacharo is set to see the return of the prestigious ‘Blue Flag’ to its beaches in 2025.
Through coordinated efforts led by Mayor Konstantinos Mitropoulos, Zacharo has secured the necessary pre-approval for certification.
This recognition will cover the beaches of Zacharo, Kaiafa, and Kakovatos, highlighting their clean waters, safety measures, and high-quality services for visitors, including accessible facilities and lifeguard coverage.
The ‘Blue Flag’ is an internationally recognised symbol of ecological and water quality excellence, implemented in over 50 countries under strict criteria. To qualify, beaches must meet rigorous standards in cleanliness, organisation, visitor safety, environmental protection, and awareness.
Mayor Mitropoulos expressed his pride, saying: “The Municipality of Zacharo is regaining the trust it deserves. After painstaking efforts, we are particularly happy for this great achievement for our region. The ‘Blue Flag’ will return to the beaches of our Municipality in 2025.”
He emphasised Zacharo’s commitment to becoming a sustainable tourist destination by improving coastal infrastructure, maintaining cleanliness, and ensuring access for all visitors.
