‘Everywhere jam-packed’: mayor of Santorini warns of overtourism crisis
Nikos Zorzos calls for urgent action to halt construction spree he says presents existential threat to Greek island
Ive never been to Santorini but I always wanted to go. But I think I will give it a miss now. It sounds horrific.
The greeks are in a bit of a bind. They need tourists but if they have too many it destroys the very thing that people want to see.
Its not just Santorini. Venice, Prague, Amsterdm are among other spots under threat.
At least they can take action locally. It sounds like Santorini is managed by the national govt.
Maybe the world needs to find somewhere else to visit ?
