Türkiye confidently ranks in the TOP-3 countries in the world for beach quality, second only to Spain and Greece. This high position is confirmed by an international rating based on the Blue Flag program, which has been in place for over 40 years.
What is the Blue Flag?
This international certification is awarded to beaches, marinas, and tourist boats that meet more than 30 strict environmental and infrastructural criteria. Water cleanliness, safety, facilities for vacationers, and educational environmental initiatives are taken into account. The program operates in 51 countries, and compliance with standards is closely monitored — the certificate can be withdrawn in case of violations.
As of 2025, Türkiye has certified:
- 577 beaches
-
13 tourist boats
-
6 yacht marinas
First and second place globally:
- Greece – 623 beaches
-
Spain – 642 beaches
Antalya and Alanya – Türkiye's leaders
The province of Antalya remains the absolute leader in the number of Blue Flag beaches: 234 certified locations.
Alanya, as part of the province, holds a special place. Here there are:
- 68 certified beaches
-
7 public beaches
-
3 tourist boats
-
1 yacht marina
Among the well-known beaches are Cleopatra, Damlataş, Keykubat, Portakal, Ulaş. Alanya has received an award for the best environmental education program for the fifth time — only 7 municipalities in Türkiye have this recognition.
Alanya – the perfect place to live and invest
Alanya is not only about beaches. The city actively develops year-round tourism, receives cruise ships, holds over 100 international competitions per year, and offers a full range of infrastructure for a comfortable life: schools, a university, hospitals, shopping malls.
The sea is just a few minutes away from any part of the city. There are no industrial ports here — only well-kept beaches and living nature. All this makes Alanya an ideal location to buy a holiday apartment, villa or investment property.
