A famous Greek island, Santorini, which attracts a large number of tourists every year, is now facing overcrowding and has caused great concern among the locals

From Schengen News, Santorini has become a magnet for millions of tourists. However, this popularity has led to a pressing issue of overcrowding, prompting locals to demand urgent measures.

Local authorities and Santorini residents call for a visitor cap to preserve the island’s charm and limit overcrowding. In response to this problem, Mayor Nikos Zorzos has actively pushed for restrictions, suggesting a reduction in the number of cruise ship visitors from around 17,000 daily visitors to just 8,000.
