With a total of 534 Blue Flags awarded to Greek beaches, marinas and sustainable tourism boating operations this year it’s no surprise that Greece’s coastline is regularly featured on various lists naming the best beaches around the globe.
In a recent Flight Networks list rated by 1200 industry professionals, the following Greek beaches were celebrated:
First place Best Beach In The World: Navagio (Shipwreck) Beach on the island of Zakynthos. This is the iconic beach, situated in a secluded cove and featuring the shipwreck of the Freightliner MV Panagiotis, is one of the most photographed and iconic images of Greece.
Second Best Untouched Beach: Agiofarago Beach on Crete. Access to the Agiofarago gorge takes approximately 30 minutes to treck but when you arrive at crystal clear water surrounded by breathtaking rocks you will stand in awe.
Other beaches receiving honorable mention were Crete’s Elafonissi beach (7th place) Santorini’s Red Beach (12th place) and Perissa Black Sand Beach (20th place), Sarakiniko Beach on Milos (21st place), St. Paul’s Bay on Rhodes (28th place), and Lalaria Beach on Skiathos (31st place).
