Map of cleanliness of the beaches of Attica


The Water Resources Department of the Decentralized Administration of Attica has published an interactive map cleanliness of the beaches of Attica.

The Authority, as part of the modernization of its digital services, has created an official geospatial portal “The Beaches of Attica”. Its main objective is to spatially visualize data related to the bathing beaches of Attica (sampling points, coastal boundaries, coastal water bodies) in a single mapping environment.

The application also provides the ability to select and display (using appropriate search tools) the results of the analysis and identification of the beaches of the Attica region published on the official website of the Ministry of the Environment, making it easy enough to use for the general public.

Bathing water quality monitoring is carried out annually, during the bathing season, on specially designated beaches and at sampling points with appropriate coding in order to protect water and public health. Since 2016, beach monitoring has been carried out by the Attica Decentralized Administration Water Resources Authority through projects co-financed with other organizations.

The online map allows the user to focus on the beach of interest and get additional information about it. See the interactive map below:

The map also has data on the beaches the islands of Aegina, Agistri, Spetses, Poros, Hydra and Kythira.
