The islands close to Turkish coast, preferably Turkish coast would be cleaner and cheaper.

Answer 4

I live on the mainland (Epirus) and Monolithi in Preveza has been awarded the blue flag - meaning a clean beach/sea.

Answer 5

Chios, a north Aegean island, is known (amongst other things) for its clean beaches and clear water. This is mostly because we lack one of the primary polluters - people! This is especially true of the northwest of the island. Even now in July you can have a whole beach to yourself. If you would like it more lively there are a few good beach bars nearby or aim for the south east of the island which is a bit more touristy.

Chios has 4 Blue Flag beaches but flags are awarded to clean 'organised' beaches because of all the other criteria that must be met. Depending on what you look for in a beach, this does not necessarily make them the 'best' beaches in an area.

Chios is a very beautiful and interesting island - worth considering. The links will show you more than these few words.......
