Greece Tourists Adopt Sun Safety Gear Amid Record Heat and UV Concerns
Visitors to Greece are increasingly using hats, sunglasses, and umbrellas to protect against UV radiation, a shift attributed to heightened awareness following severe heatwaves. Despite record-breaking temperatures, tourist numbers in Greece reached 38 million last year, showing that extreme heat has not deterred travel. Red Cross volunteers report fewer requests for free protective gear, indicating that travelers are better prepared with personal sun protection kits.
