The Blue Flag Campaign is one of the four projects executed under the co-ordination of the Europe Environmental Education Foundation (FEEE). The Environmental Education Foundation of Turkey (TURCEV) designates which beaches and marinas have the right display a Blue Flag, which is judged on the basis of cleanliness of water, environmental concerns, security, safety and services.

Nominees are evaluated by a national, then a European jury, after which the successful ones are awarded the Blue Flag for one year. The sea-water analysis is performed every 15 days during the high season by the local department of Health, and funded by the Ministry of Tourism, and take into account the physical, pH and microbiological parameters.
