For many travellers, a holiday by the sea means discovering more than just one beach, and all King Jason hotels in Cyprus and Greece provide ample opportunities for this. Around Zakynthos, Paphos and Protaras, it is easy to spend several days beach-hopping between Blue Flag beaches, where calm waters, easy access and high environmental standards make swimming simple and enjoyable for couples, friends groups and solo travellers alike.
The Blue Flag award is one of the world’s most recognised coastal quality labels. It is granted only to beaches that meet strict criteria for water cleanliness, safety, accessibility and environmental management.
Cyprus stands out particularly strongly in Europe. According to the European Environment Agency’s latest assessments, Cyprus consistently ranks first in the EU for bathing water quality, with around 99% of swimming sites rated “excellent.” Greece also performs exceptionally well, with more than 97% of its bathing waters rated excellent, and it ranks among the top countries worldwide for the number of Blue Flag beaches.
Near King Jason Zante, some of the island’s most scenic swimming spots are easily reached by car. Beaches such as Porto Limnionas, Porto Roxa, and Navagio viewpoints and nearby coves are known for their bright turquoise water and natural cliff settings. Many smaller bays along the western and northern coastline offer calm conditions and clear water ideal for relaxed swimming.
From King Jason Protaras, several Blue Flag beaches lie only minutes away. Fig Tree Bay, one of Cyprus’ best-known beaches, sits in a sheltered bay a stone’s throw from the hotel, with calm water and soft sand, making it easy to enter the sea and enjoy long swims. Nearby options such as Konnos Bay, Pernera Beach and Green Bay also offer clear water and convenient access from the shore.
Guests staying at King Jason Paphos can explore Blue Flag beaches such as Coral Bay, Alykes, and Faros Beach, all known for clean water and comfortable facilities. These beaches are easy to reach and provide a mix of sandy stretches and small coves ideal for swimming or relaxing walks along the coast.
Across Cyprus and Greece, beach-hopping becomes part of the holiday rhythm. Calm seas, excellent water quality and a high concentration of Blue Flag beaches mean that discovering new coves and swimming spots can easily fill several relaxed days. For guests staying at the King Jason hotels, the result is simple: some of the cleanest and most inviting waters in Europe, always within easy reach.
