Welcome to our article dedicated to the blue flags in Italy in 2023, with a particular look at the Puglia region and the province of Bari.

The Blue Flags are an international recognition awarded each year by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) to coastal locations that meet certain water quality, environmental management and safety criteria. Blue flags therefore represent an important guarantee of quality for tourists who choose to spend their holidays in these places.

In 2023, Puglia was once again one of the Italian regions that obtained the highest number of blue flags, with 142 localities obtaining this recognition. The province of Bari, in particular, has obtained 17 blue flags, an exceptional result which demonstrates the commitment of the local authorities in caring for the environment and sustainable management of the territory.

But let’s now see in detail which are the places that have obtained the blue flag in the province of Bari in 2023.

Let’s start with Polignano a Mare, one of the most famous places in Puglia and beyond. Known above all for the spectacular Grotta Palazzese, Polignano a Mare has obtained the blue flag thanks to the quality of the waters and the care of the landscape.

Continuing along the coast, we find Monopoli, a city with an ancient charm that has obtained the blue flag for the cleanliness of the beaches and the quality of the waters.

Also along the coast, we find Mola di Bari, a quiet and hospitable locality that has obtained the blue flag thanks to the cleanliness of the beaches and the sustainable management of the territory.

Moving on to the Ionian coast, we find Giovinazzo, a town overlooking the sea that has obtained the blue flag thanks to the quality of the water and the care of the landscape.

Continuing along the Ionian coast, we then meet Torre a Mare, a seaside resort characterized by a beautiful Saracen tower and a tourist port. Torre a Mare has obtained the blue flag thanks to the cleaning of the beaches and the sustainable management of the territory.

All these localities have demonstrated a great commitment to care for the environment and sustainable management of the territory, offering tourists clean beaches and quality waters. The Blue Flag represents a highly prestigious international recognition and guarantees tourists a holiday of quality and respect for the environment.

In addition to the seaside resorts, the province of Bari offers numerous other tourist attractions, such as cities of art, breathtaking natural landscapes, ancient villages and a gastronomy rich in flavors and traditions. The presence of the Blue Flags represents an added value for the area and contributes to the tourist promotion of the province of Bari, an attraction for Italian and foreign tourists looking for a quality and authentic holiday.

In conclusion, the province of Bari was also the protagonist in 2023 of the assignment of blue flags, demonstrating the commitment of the local authorities in caring for the environment and sustainable management of the territory. This prestigious international recognition represents a guarantee of quality for tourists who choose to spend their holidays in these locations and contributes to the promotion of the area and the local economy.
