Good news for summer!
You can swim safely in most of Europe’s bathing waters.
The latest European Bathing Water report shows that 85% of bathing sites in the EU are rated ‘excellent‘, while 96% meet at least the minimum quality standards.
Cyprus leads with all its bathing waters rated excellent.
This progress didn’t happen by chance. It is the result of EU environmental legislation and efforts by EU countries to improve water quality across Europe.
