Sapete che la Grecia è il secondo paese al mondo per numero di "bandiere blu"? Questo grazie a 497 spiagge premiate 94 delle quali si trovano, e personalmente non avevo dubbi, nella Penisola Calcidica. Quella penisola che avrei dovuto visitare a brevissimo - ovvero dal 28 maggio al 2 giugno - ma che ovviamente, per quest'anno, è saltata.
Ma torniamo alle bandiere blu della Grecia e ai numeri comunicati dall'Hellenic Society for the Protection of Nature (EEPF): la Calcidica ha guadagnato il primo posto in termini di bandiere blu conquistate e la Grecia, appunto, si è piazzata al secondo posto su 47 Paesi in gara. Diversi i requisiti per essere premiati e, tra i principali, si trova la qualità dell'acqua.
Vediamo ora i dettagli.
Primati per regione:
Creta 117 spiagge e 1 marina
Macedonia Centrale 104 spiagge e 3 marine
Egeo Meridionale Cicladi e Dodecaneso: 78 spiagge e 2 marine.
Primati per prefettura:
Calcidica con 85 bandiere blu
Lassithi con 39
Isola di Rodi con 34
Chania con 33
Iraklion con 27
Attica con 19
Rethimno con 18
Cefalonia e Chios con 15
Primati per comune:
Rodi con 34 bandiere blu
Kassandra con 32
Agios Nikolaos con 26
Nea Propontida e Sitonia con 18
Chersonissos con 17
Aristoteli e Xios con 15
Volos e Kos con 12
Le località che hanno visto aumentare il rispettivo numero di bandiere blu rispetto allo scorso anno sono Kos (12 su 10), Corfù (10 su 9) e Corinthia (8 su 6).
Che dire... non mi resta che rimpiangere la cancellazione del volo per Salonicco con destinazione successiva Sithonia sperando nella partenza di Luglio e Agosto.
E dato che questa Calcidica è davvero bella ecco un post che magari vi può interessare:
