Water Quality

Bathing water is classified as excellent. Monitoring samples are taken during the bathing season and analysed for E. coli and intestinal enterococci. Possible faecal contamination sources include watercourses, inland lakes, and summer houses. Risk of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) bloom exists. Phytoplankton growth is assessed as minor.

Risks

Macroalgae (seaweed) may occur at the water's edge; bathing near large accumulations is discouraged due to potential toxin production and bacteria survival in decaying algae. Risk of cyanobacteria bloom. Glass shards, litter, and chemical contamination including oil spills occasionally occur. Watercourses discharging into the sea carry high bacterial content and bathing in stream outlets is discouraged.
