Cyprus has been recognized as the country with the cleanest sea in the European Union. According to the 2024 report by the European Environment Agency, 99.2% of the island’s beaches received the highest rating for water quality — an absolute EU record.
For comparison, the EU average is 85%. Even traditionally strong countries like Bulgaria and Greece fell behind Cyprus, taking second and third place.
These results not only strengthen Cyprus’s image as a safe and attractive destination, but also have a direct economic impact. Clean seas and a stable environmental situation make the island especially appealing to tourists — increasing profitability in the hotel and rental sectors.
For investors, this is a significant advantage: the high rating of beaches serves as an additional argument in favor of investing in coastal real estate. Sustainable development, ecological safety, and a growing tourist flow are all factors that positively affect property value and rental potential.
Cyprus confidently sets the standard for quality and continues to strengthen its position not just as a resort, but as a reliable investment destination.
