Neptune Resort’s Beach Receives Prestigious Blue Flag Award for 21st Time
The beach of the Neptune Luxury Resort on Kos has been awarded with the “Blue Flag” eco-label for the 21st consecutive year.
This marks an important achievement for the resort as it has received this prestigious award for an impressive 21 consecutive years, beginning in 2003.
To earn the highly sought-after Blue Flag eco-label, a beach must not only exhibit excellent water quality but also meet a comprehensive set of 33 criteria. These criteria encompass various aspects, including cleanliness, environmental management and awareness, amenities and services, provision of information, visitor safety, and the protection of the coastal area.
The recognition of Neptune’s beach comes at a time when 617 beaches throughout Greece have been granted the Blue Flag status, with 13 of them located on the picturesque island of Kos.
“Our 21st Blue Flag award underscores our unwavering dedication and commitment to ensuring that our guests enjoy a vacation that is not only luxurious but also environmentally responsible,” said Neptune Resort General Manager Kostas Zarikos.
Situated in the Mastichari area, a mere 8 kilometers from the local airport, Neptune Luxury Resort is a renowned 5-star hotel that epitomizes opulence on the island of Kos.
The Blue Flag Program, which originated in France in 1985 and expanded throughout Europe in 1987, has evolved into a global initiative since 2001.
With an ever-growing number of countries participating, this program operates under the auspices of the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark. In Greece, the Hellenic Society for the Protection of Nature (EEPF) serves as the coordinator of the Blue Flag program, ensuring its successful implementation across the country.
By consistently meeting the stringent criteria set forth by the Blue Flag initiative, Neptune Luxury Resort on Kos exemplifies its commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.
With each passing year, the resort continues to raise the bar, providing an unforgettable holiday experience while preserving the natural beauty of the surrounding coastal area.
