Santorini's Unprecedented Emptiness: Why Are Greek Isles Seeing Low Tourist Numbers in Peak Season?

Santorini, Greece – July 20, 2025 – The popular Greek island of Santorini, typically bustling with tourists in mid-July, is experiencing an unusual quietness, according to a report from journalist Robert Sherman. Sherman, currently on the island, noted a surprising abundance of hotel availability and significantly lower prices than expected for the peak summer season. "I'm in Santorini right now, this island is dead," Sherman stated in his video report. "There is availability all over the island. It is a weekend in the middle of July, peak season, and there is so much availability, prices are low in Santorini." Sherman even highlighted his own travel plans, indicating he had not pre-booked accommodation. "I don't even have a hotel booked tonight. I'm about to walk into town, pick out my hotel at a discounted rate." The unexpected lack of crowds and reduced costs raise questions about the current state of European summer travel. Sherman concluded his report by asking, "Does anyone know why the Greek Isles are so empty this year?" The observations suggest a potential shift in travel patterns or other factors impacting tourism in the region.
