Business declines on two islands | eKathimerini.com
The islands of Mykonos and Santorini, perhaps Greeceās most famous tourist destinations, were the two glaring exceptions in the accommodation and catering business during the first half of the year.

Popular Greek island 'empty' in 'worst season ever' says tour guide over fears it was being overwhelmed
The 'over-tourism' phenomenon, which has also been reported in destinations such as Venice, Barcelona and Dubrovnik, has been a major issue in Santorini in recent years, but there's another side to it, claims a local tour guide
..... Having worked in Tourism Industry for many years I never believe statistics(I take them with pinch of salt! ).... Quantifying revenue streams from these two Islands especially Mykonos would be a classified confidential subject, perhaps no one know how it is determined!!Just a few weeks ago Santorini was restricting numbers,so says the media!?....and now the tour guide says the opposite!....I am going to wait until the end of the summer.Income wise Super Yachts and high end tourism certainly produces substantial revenue,be it may not spreading across, vacant aircraft seats is an indicator of dissatisfied travellers but this has been long time coming!
