Inspectors HSPN and FEE control in the summer time the compliance criteria of the program, noting the National Operator problems and omissions that may lead to temporary or permanent lowering of the “Blue Flag” and withdrawal of the coast or from the international marina and Greek website.The evaluations of inspectors are taken seriously by the National Jury, when, after the end of the summer, examines and evaluates candidate beaches and marinas for next year.
The beach or marina that has rewarded last summer with the Blue Flag for its compliance with the criteria of the program has the potential to be nominated for an award next year, if they prove that the Jury is still really worth it.
