Six beaches on the island of Rhodes have lost their prestigious Blue Flag awards for 2024 due to shortcomings in organization and adherence to program criteria. The beaches were removed for failing to organize a swimming season, lacking proper services and information, and neglecting environmental management practices. While the water quality remains excellent, these deficiencies led to the withdrawal of the awards.

The Municipality of Volos has temporarily removed the Blue Flag status from six beaches due to a surge of dead fish in the Pagasitikos Gulf. This measure is aimed at ensuring the safety of swimmers and maintaining environmental standards. Authorities are actively addressing the situation to restore the beach status as soon as possible.
Greece has suffered a blow to its tourism reputation after losing 22 Blue Flags, a prestigious eco-label awarded to top-quality beaches. Popular holiday destinations like Rhodes and Mykonos were among those stripped of the certification due to failing to meet strict standards for water quality, cleanliness, and visitor facilities. The move highlights the challenges faced by the country in maintaining its pristine coastline while accommodating growing numbers of tourists.
