​Under newly tightened cruise ship regulations in Santorini, Canaves Collection is offering a timely perspective on what this shift means for the island, its visitors, and the future of thoughtful tourism in the Cyclades.
After years of concern from local hoteliers and stakeholders around the pressure of daily cruise arrivals, new measures are now in place, including an 8,000-passenger daily cap (down from 17,000)  and a €20 peak-season passenger fee. For a destination long defined by its caldera views, local craft, family-run hospitality, and small-scale island life, the change marks an important step toward a calmer, more considered visitor experience.
