Hell: 11,000 seafarers surprised Santorini with a population of 15,000
The Greek island of Santorini was the scene of over-tourism chaos in July, when several huge cruise ships docked at once, bringing 11,000 tourists to the island, which has a population of just over 15,000. Locals were asked to stay at home due to increased traffic, which was not without success.
Thira municipality president Panagiotis Kavallaris first posted this advice on social media, but later deleted the post. To solve the problem, representatives of several ministries convened a meeting and proposed limiting the number of cruises. Nikos Zorzos, the mayor of Santorini, announced that from 2025, the number of passengers on the ships in the port should not exceed 8,000 people per day, in order to preserve the uniqueness of the island.
The deterioration of European mass tourism is also felt in other popular destinations. In Mallorca, 20,000 protesters took to the streets, while in Barcelona, locals protested with the slogan “Tourists, get out of our neighborhood”. On the other hand, Hungarian tourism experts want to compare Budapest to Barcelona in terms of the number of tourists, which, however, is not necessary according to everyone.
