The Cyprus beaches are some of the main attractions to tourists visiting the Island.
The District of Paphos is proud to announce that several of its beaches have been awarded the ‘Blue Flag'. These include Coral Bay, Pachyammos, Faros, Yeroskipou and Dasoudi Beach.
In order to obtain the status of a ‘Blue Flag' beach, certain criteria have to be met. The Blue Flag Association states:
"Blue Flag is a prestigious, international award scheme which acts as a guarantee to tourists, that a beach or marina they are visiting is one of the best in the world. It is awarded to coastal destinations which have achieved the highest quality in water, facilities, safety, environmental education and management."
The crystal clear Mediterranean waters and combination of soft sand and shingle beaches, when blended together with warm rays of sunshine, are not to be missed when staying on the beautiful Island of Cyprus.
