Greek Island Overrun by Tourists

Tourists take pictures in Oia, a town with white houses and windmills.

A Greek island is now like a long line for the bathroom due to many tourists.

A travel creator shared a video of tourists waiting in line at 7am to take photos. She said social media has made beautiful places like this into long lines.

This scene shows how shallow our time has become.

The video was taken in Oia, a town on the island of Santorini in the Aegean Sea.

The line of people waiting to take photos went around several corners to a spot with a great view of the sea.

One person said Oia is too touristy and not a nice place to visit. They liked other parts of Santorini.

Another person agreed that Oia is only good for taking photos.

A third person said people no longer visit places to enjoy them, but to take photos for social media.

The long lines are because people want to show off on social media, not to enjoy the place.

A fourth person agreed that beautiful places are being ruined by people who want to be famous on social media.

Now, every new restaurant has a special wall for photos and loud music.

About 3.4 million visitors come to Santorini each year by plane, ship, or ferry.

This means there are about 220 tourists for every resident, which is a very high number.

A study found that Santorini has too many tourists, more than other places.
