Tackling over-tourism in Greece
The Greek government is promoting less well known holiday destinations to ease the problem of over-tourism. We find out if it's worked, and whether locals have embraced the idea.
Victoria Craig whisks us off to the Greek island of Tinos to find out about a Greek government strategy to prevent over-tourism.
On this virtual vacation, you'll meet an artisan cheesemaker, some travellers, and a restaurant owner to find out whether the government strategy to promote travel to less well known destinations is working, or even welcomed. There are concerns the strategy could erode traditional ways of life on the Greek islands and in the Greek villages tourists don't often reach.
