All Blue Flag Beaches in the Republic of Cyprus for 2025

In the 2025 summer season, 66 locations in the Republic of Cyprus were awarded the Blue Flag: 64 beaches and 2 marinas. This is convenient for your trip, as you can immediately open the desired spot in Google Maps via the link in the beach name to understand if that specific shore suits your area, logistics, and holiday format. If you are flying for a vacation, it is wise to arrange medical insurance in advance, for example, through Tripinsurance, and for beach navigation and staying connected after arrival, it is handy to set up a travel eSIM beforehand, for example, via Drimsim.

What Blue Flag means

The Blue Flag is an international award for beaches and marinas that is presented annually. The assessment takes into account water quality, safety, environmental management, information materials for visitors, and basic infrastructure.

For practical beach selection in the Republic of Cyprus, this status is useful but does not replace checking a specific location. Even two neighboring Blue Flag beaches can differ significantly in water depth, crowds, parking, wind, and the presence of cafes.

How to use the list

For a short trip, it is more convenient to first choose a district and only then open specific points on Google Maps. If you are staying in Larnaca, it is usually easiest to start with Phinikoudes, Kastella, and Mackenzie. For a trip to the Ayia Napa and Protaras area, visitors often immediately save Nissi Beach, Konnos Bay, and Protaras (Fig Tree).

If you plan to visit several beaches in different districts of the Republic of Cyprus, consider connectivity and navigation in advance. For mobile internet and maps on the road, it is convenient to use Drimsim, and if the trip is built around several beach locations and you need route freedom, it makes sense to compare car rentals via Localrent beforehand.

Before traveling, it is still useful to check parking, availability of sun loungers, seasonal occupancy, water entrance, and wind conditions. The Blue Flag is a good guide for quality and basic infrastructure, but not a guarantee that this specific beach will be the best for children, a secluded getaway, or snorkeling.
