The tidiest Black Sea beaches in 2019

The free travel metasearch site momondo.ro has selected 9 of the tidiest beaches located on the Black Sea shores. The “Blue Flag” certifications are issued by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) to public or private beaches that fulfill the criteria regarding water quality, facilitated access, safety and cleanliness.

There are 3 such beaches but, with the exception of Georgia, every country by the Black Sea has “Blue Flag” certified beaches. Even if Ukrainian or Russian beaches were not visited much by Romanians in previous years, those from Bulgaria or Turkey are in very high demand during summer holidays, especially by people who want to travel using their personal car.
