Characteristic of the financial difficulty that residents of Kastoria have arisen is that only in Santorini, more than 300 Castorians go to Santorini to find work.

“A small community … as if a large very large village in Kastoria has gone and settled in Santorini,” observes Christos Bokikos, Kastorianos and father of a 12 -year -old child who, speaking in “where there is Greece” in SKAI, describes that he is forced. to leave every summer to work.

It is worth noting that one in 3 permanent residents of Santorini was on the island looking for a job. Most had gone for a season and others as tourists who were fascinated by the place and made him their own.

At the same time, businessmen in the area are increasing salaries and incentives to face the lack of workers on the island not only in summer but also in winter …

So many choose not to return to their place in winter as they find permanent work there in the end.

Indicatively, when the crowds of tourists leave Santorini to return the next summer, the island is not alone with locals as workers from all over Greece remain there and continue to work in businesses and services.

“In 30,000 permanent residents, at least 8,000 are residents from other places who came as workers on the island for a season. Families, they stayed on the island, because as we say the island nourishes .. “observes Flora Damigou, a resident of the island.
