Thee number of Italian seaside and
lakeside resorts awarded the prestigious blue flag designation
for cleanliness and sustainability has risen by 10 to 246 this
year, the international Foundation for Environmental Education
(FEE) said in its annual report on Tuesday.
There were 15 Italian new entries, but five municipalities lost
their flags.
The number of Italian blue flag marinas was also up, from 81 to
85, and a total of 487 Italian beaches can fly the flag this
year, 11.5% of the worldwide total.
Liguria again leads the way with 33 blue-flag resorts, although
this was one down on 2024, followed by Puglia, which has 27
after three new entries, and Calabria, which was also up three
to 23.
