Like many other European countries which suffered from the post-pandemic serge in European-travel this summer, Greece is struggling with an issue of overtourism.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
At the beginning of his article, “Think of Greeks as a tribe, not of Greece as a civilization state” (Ekathimerini, 31/8/23), George Monastiriakos states that Greece has existed for many years as a “civilized state.”

Nearly 10 years ago, as a professor of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Western Australia, I was invited to allow my name to be added to the signatories of a letter that was being sent to US President Barack Obama, protesting the erection of a statue of a horseman in Skopje – a statue that was obviously a larger copy of a statue of Alexander the Great.
Dear Sir, Professor Vasilis Sarafidis in his article of October 22 on “The tragedy of Greek statistics” describes well the deliberate falsification of Greek fiscal data between 1997 and 2009, which he says “played a key role in the country’s bankruptcy in 2010 and has hampered its recovery from the crisis to date.”
