This is how the people of Greece feel In the city of Santorini People live too, with more than 3.4 million people vacationing there every year. The 20,000 residents complain that they are forced to move homes because there are so many tourists that they can no longer accommodate the common areas.

Politician Panos Kavalaris asks residents to stay at home to make room for tourists.
Not only do we have to put up with them, we now have to hide in our homes to make room for them
said one angry resident.
Booming tourism has somewhat changed island life, traffic jams have become common, garbage dumps are full, and the streets are noticeably dirtier.
Santorini Mayor Zorsos Nikos admitted that the city's infrastructure was beginning to reach its limits due to the increasing number of employees. He said:
We have all the problems of big cities, even if we were not designed to be big cities.
The island suffers from overcrowding not only on land, but also on the water, with 17,000 people being transported to Santorini by ferry every day, which is why the Prime Minister of Greece has imposed a fee of 20 euros.

They also suffer from excessive tourism in other popular places around the world. In Kyoto Tourists have already littered the church, and the church priest is trying to warn visitors in several languages not to litter. Also in Mallorca They're getting angrier Due to the influx of tourists there, graffiti appeared on the walls with inscriptions such as “Your luxury, our misery” and “Complete the destruction of Mallorca.” In Malaga They have introduced some rules of conduct for tourists, and they will be fined if they violate the rules. Tourists often dress poorly, talk loudly, and litter.
