7 insule din Grecia, frecventate de români, în stare de urgență. Avertisment pentru turiști în plină vacanță • Newsweek România
Greek authorities have declared a state of emergency on seven tourist islands due to a severe water crisis caused by drought and high summer consumption. Tourists and locals are urged to conserve water. The affected islands include Tinos, Alonisos, Astypalea, Karpathos, Leros, Patmos, and Symi. Measures include expanding desalination facilities and transporting water to affected areas. Astypalea faces the most severe situation, with its main reservoir at only one-sixth capacity. Hotels are encouraging tourists to reduce water use through various initiatives. While no travel restrictions are in place, responsible water usage is emphasized.
