Locals in Greece are expressing their anger over the perceived "overtourism" by Brits and UK tourists. Shop fronts in Athens have been graffitied with messages such as: "No more tourism," reflecting a growing unease that is also being felt in Spain, from Lanzarote and Tenerife to Majorca. .. Katerina Kikilia, a Professor of Tourism Management at the University of West Attica, spoke to Euronews about the situation: "We need rules. Athenians face daily social and environmental impacts. The housing crisis is huge." In 2023, Athens saw over 7 million tourists, reports BirminghamLive.
