Greece’s islands overtourism plan: Charge cruise ship passengers more

Instead of limiting the number of passengers who can disembark from cruise ships on Santorini – and looking at Mykonos and other islands – Greece is planning to increase a fee on them.

After growing reports that Santorini especially is being overwhelmed and its infrastructure strained – some 17,000 cruise ship passengers got off on one day recently – the government is trying to balance limits without lessening revenues.
