There’s a volcano waiting to blow on Santorini, but it’s not the world-famous caldera
CNN 4 August 2024
Overtourism has become a major buzzword in travel in recent years as popular destinations struggle to balance their need for visitor dollars with the quality of life of their residents and maintaining a desirable and sustainable environment for all.
On Santorini, according to some, it’s not simply a case of too many tourists.
“The truth is that the island is empty. Right now is like never before, it’s the worst season ever.”
The island was the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history:
the Minoan eruption (sometimes called the Thera eruption), which occurred about 3,600 years ago at the height of the Minoan civilization.
