I thought this was interesting, especially the differences between hotel beds and short term rentals on some of the islands. I understand that long before the internet there was a tradition of renting rooms to tourists on the islands.

I was curious though what the Greek Press made of these numbers? Too many beds? Too many no hotel beds?
