About Azure Holidays

Azure Holidays maps the bathing water quality that EU countries, Switzerland and Albania report to the European Environment Agency under the Bathing Water Directive. Every site is sampled during the bathing season and classified as excellent, good, sufficient or poor.

Each site page shows its classification in every season from 2012 to 2022 and its location. Sites are listed by the object number of the EEA map layer: the layer we use does not carry the local names of beaches and lakes.

Data: EEA, CC BY 4.0. We publish the classifications as reported and do not add our own scores.
