But even if strangers do not choose to go to the other year, Heots still look out that they do not have enough staff to serve their visitors.

Santorini – one of the most traveling islands – it depends on the weather in Greece and abroad, which contribute to thousands of people on each day in the island.

His work is needed, and people send people at tournament in the inn, but the money that makes them better. This year is afraid that it is not.

“I’m anxious there will be enough tourists. The season is weak, I won’t make a lot of money, or maybe it will not need me all the whole season. I can’t take all the risk.”

Instead, Manos says he has taken a job in Coriffi and will not return to Santiini this year.

And it’s not a time of time that the island requires the island of employees to be temporary – now it’s a time to build the tunnel to repair the hotel summer.

That work has a reason for the depths of an earthquake, and owners – hobets – which are concerned with the government will go away – pushing an organization to renew.

Msarelkoou, which their four hours wrote 120 tasks, admits his problems and admit that if the symptoms continue, they may be late to open hotels and their businesses. But they remain confident in the essence of the island.
