Kakali has badgered the government and a major Greek bank into promising an ATM within weeks but she still feels it may be too late for this season on an island where tourism is the main source of income: “We have almost no reservations in August, when usually we have people calling us up asking to find a room and we can’t help them.” A hard winter ahead may be slightly improved because 50 workers will live and work in the village to expand the harbor. But there is an even bigger crisis ahead because the government has said it will end a tax break for islands.
What is the upcoming “bigger crisis”?
Islands will have to pay additional taxes The government will end taxes for tourists visiting the island The removal of ATMs from the island The Greek government will shut down in the summer
