Nikos Zorzos calls for urgent action to halt the construction spree he says presents an existential threat to Greek island
Santorini, the island so Instagrammable it has become Greece’s most popular destination, will not be able to “save itself” if runaway development – the most tangible effect of overtourism – is not instantly curbed, the mayor has warned.
With more than 3.4 million tourists expected to visit the Cycladic hotspot this year, Nikos Zorzos called for urgent action to stop a construction spree that risks spurring the island’s ruination.
