from The Greek Current · host Hellenic Leaders

While the tourism boom in Greece over the last years can be felt across the country, its epicenter is a group of islands in the Aegean known as the Cyclades.

Yannis Palaiologos, a journalist at large with Kathimerini, joins Thanos Davelis to discuss how tourism and frantic development is impacting Greece’s most popular islands, and look into the efforts of a relatively new initiative called the Sustainable Cyclades project, which aims to put a spotlight on these issues.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:The Sustainable Cyclades projectAs Development Alters Greek Islands’ Nature and Culture, Locals Push BackTurkey's Edrogan signs off on Sweden's NATO membership#NoJetsForTurkey coalition calls for US Congress scrutiny of F-16 saleStudents in Greece protest plans to introduce private universities
