Santorini’s Empty Streets—What Happened?

Santorini’s usually packed streets are weirdly quiet this summer! Tourist numbers have dropped big time—like, up to 30% less than last year. Locals blame earthquakes and rising costs, and now hotels are slashing prices to lure last-minute travelers. Even with cruise ships still rolling in, the island’s economy is feeling the pinch. The mayor says Santorini doesn’t need more hotels, just better infrastructure. Would you visit while it’s this empty? #Santorini #TravelNews #Tourism #Travel
