Squillace earns another Green Flag: what it means for your family vacation.
If you’re planning a family holiday in Calabria, Squillace is one of the most reliable and beloved destinations.
Da otto anni consecutivi ottiene la prestigiosa Bandiera Verde, riconoscimento assegnato dai pediatri italiani alle spiagge più adatte ai piccoli ospiti: acqua bassa, sabbia fine, giochi, sicurezza.
Una destinazione perfetta per le famiglie che desiderano tranquillità, mare limpido e ampi spazi dove i bambini possono divertirsi in libertà.
What is a Green Flag — and why does it matter?
In Italy, the Bandiera Verde (Green Flag) is a prestigious recognition awarded by pediatricians to seaside resorts that offer optimal conditions for children.
Clean, shallow waters, soft sand, lifeguards, ample space to play, and family services: these are the key criteria.
It’s similar in spirit to the Blue Flag, but specifically focused on child safety and wellbeing.
While not always present in other countries, similar recognitions exist — for instance, “Family Friendly Beach” certifications in Spain or “Seaside Awards” in the UK.
These designations give parents peace of mind when choosing safe, enjoyable holiday spots.
