Is the Greek summer out of reach for young Greeks?

from The Greek Current · host Hellenic Leaders

With Greece deep into its tourism season, issues of over-tourism and sustainability have largely dominated the headlines. A recent article in Kathimerini took a slightly different look at tourism, exploring how it impacts young Greeks. With the quintessential Greek summer increasingly out of reach for many in the country as they are priced out of certain locations, many young people end up taking on seasonal work only to be able to see a beach - something unthinkable for previous generations. Iliana Magra, a journalist with Kathimerini, joins Thanos Davelis to look into this side effect of tourism, and break down whether the Greek summer we’ve all taken for granted over the previous decades is out of reach for this generation.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Δουλεύουν σεζόν για τις βουτιές τουςGreeks priced out of vacationMitsotakis, Erdogan meet in WashingtonA Conversation With Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis of GreeceHolguin gives Guterres her report on Cyprus problem and prospects to start talksDiplomatic efforts intensify amidst critical juncture
