Crowds of cruise ship passengers taking the cable car back to the cruise ship port in Fira, Santorini. For a strong and sustainable local economy, cruise ships should be banned in Santorini.
Why we want cruise ships banned from Santorini
• Cruise ships place tremendous strain on Santorini`s infrastructure for minor financial returns to the local population.
Cruise ships contribute to the worsening degradation of the Santorini environment.
The financial dynamics of cruise ships encourage short-term fiscal interests at the cost of long-term and sustainable tourism growth and progress.
• Santorini offers residents and visitors a more balanced lifestyle away from the pressures, hassles, and crowds brought by thousands of daily cruise ship passengers.

And please share this post with others. We’d appreciate input and recommendations from local business owners (of both Santorini and Mykonos) who may benefit from limiting cruise ship visits.
