Business owners on the Greek island of Mykonos are up in arms against a government decision forcing them to shut down at midnight to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
People gather at the narrow streets of Matogiannia after the bars closed at midnight on the Aegean Sea island of Mykonos, Greece, early Sunday, Aug. 16, 2020. The Greek government has been worried about the recent surge in coronavirus cases that threatens to undo its initial success in keeping infections and deaths at low levels. On the island of Mykonos, an internationally famous tourist destination, restaurants, bars and cafes were forced on Aug.
When Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis officially declared the tourist season open on June 13, he had said that “there is no risk-free approach.” This summer, there will be nowhere near the same number. For one, cruises, which account for about a third of visitors, aren’t happening. But people on the island say that hotels are at about 70% capacity, an unheard of number compared to other Greek tourist destinations.
