Tourism Declines in Santorini and Mykonos Amid Booking Battles

Two of Greece’s most iconic tourist destinations, Santorini and Mykonos, are experiencing notable shifts in visitor numbers this year, as fresh data reveals a new drop in international arrivals and a competitive battle for bookings.

Santorini, renowned worldwide for its stunning sunsets and volcanic landscape, has seen a significant decline in tourism, largely attributed to prolonged seismic activity earlier in 2025. This geological unrest has caused uncertainty among potential visitors, especially those traveling from key markets such as the United States, Canada, and Australia.

According to reports by the Greek Tourism Confederation and the Institute of the Hellenic Tourism Business Association (INSETE), international air arrivals to Santorini have fallen by as much as 19% compared to last year. Overall, the year-end decline in arrivals to the island is projected to range between 10% and 15%. Ferry bookings mirror this trend, with Santorini experiencing a 7% drop in reservations.

In contrast, Mykonos shows signs of a gradual recovery. Despite an 8% fall in air arrivals during the early months of 2025, the island recorded a slight 2% increase in arrivals in June. Ferry bookings to Mykonos have remained stable, supported largely by steady domestic demand, even as some international markets show mixed results.
