The assessment of the beach was made by the bathers themselves during the summer season 2018, who were asked to complete the specific questionnaire on each Costa Nostrum – Sustainable Beach, and they are the judges of the degree of sustainability of each beach.
Potamos Beach was rated by the bathers with a total score of 7,879 points with an excellent 10, among nine (9) total public certified Costa Nostrum Sustainable Beaches.
This award is now established as an institution and is given every year at the best public – certified Costa Nostrum – Sustainable Beach. This is the first time the prize is awarded to the Municipality of Hersonissos. At the evaluation process for the best certified Costa Nostrum – Sustainable Beach are participating all the beaches which have been certified by the triple innovative award winning protocol Costa Nostrum – Sustainable Beaches.
