It is noted that excellent quality beaches have declined from 2020, falling one category below, being classified as good quality. While the percentage of beaches with sufficient and poor quality continue to be the same as a year ago.

Meanwhile, the checks revealed that eight beaches continue to be problematic in Albania, for which the environmental agency must notify vacationers not to bathe because of various bacteria that cause diseases.

Two of the points are in Durrës, in the area of ​​Plepa, while the other 3 points are located in Vlorë. Two in Pogradec and a small lake in Çorovode.
