Plastic bottles are “chocking” Greek islands

In the darkest colors, Bloomberg presents the dependence of popular, Greek, arid islands (Aegina, Patmos, Santorini) on plastic bottles of water to meet the needs of their residents and the millions of visitors who choose them every summer for their holidays, leaving money in the Greek economy, but at the same time burdening the islands with their environmental footprint.

Santorini port cleaned, Andros seabed still a mess

Divers cleaned up the seabed in the old port of Fira on the island of Santorini for the first time on Monday, removing 340 kilograms of waste. The operation was organized by members of the island's diving centers and volunteers.

"The caldera has a peculiarity, the slopes are steep at its bottom," said Dimitris Kampanos, a diving instructor.
