Field Guide — 2026 Season
Blue Flag Beaches in Cyprus
Cyprus consistently earns one of the densest concentrations of Blue Flags per kilometre of coast in the world. The certified roster wraps the island — Ayia Napa's white sand, Larnaca's town beaches, Paphos harbours — with bathing seasons that stretch far past the continental summer.
A Blue Flag is awarded season by season for excellent bathing-water quality, safety, services, and environmental management — what a Blue Flag beach means explains the certification in full.

Blue Flag is an international certification awarded season by season for excellent bathing-water quality, safety, services, and environmental management. Certified Best Beaches is an independent directory and is not affiliated with or endorsed by FEE, the certifying organisation.
How current is this Cyprus beach list?
Certification is seasonal, so we track the 2026 season and update listings as national juries publish changes. Beaches that hold Blue Flag certification and uncertified "Certification Candidate" beaches are always labelled separately.
