A Sea of Quality, Where Nature Meets Tradition
In 2025, Puglia once again stands on the national podium as one of Italy’s most awarded regions for coastal excellence, earning 27 Blue Flags. This prestigious recognition is not just a symbol — it’s a real guarantee of sustainability, top-tier services, and crystal-clear waters. Blue Flag beaches are selected through strict criteria, including waste management, biodiversity protection, safety standards, and accessibility for all.
The award is granted annually by the FEE – Foundation for Environmental Education, through its international Blue Flag program, active in over 50 countries. In Italy, the Ministry for the Environment collaborates in evaluating candidate locations, promoting tourism that respects landscapes and celebrates local excellence.
