Thessaloniki's Seafront: A Disquieting Reality Beneath the Surface

Thessaloniki, Greece A recent video circulating on social media has drawn attention to the concerning state of the city's seafront, revealing a stark contrast between its picturesque reputation and the current environmental conditions. The short clip, uploaded by local content creator 'jacksparrowingreece,' captures a view of the sea near the promenade, which appears heavily polluted with green algae and, disturbingly, several dead rats floating on the water's surface. The video features an individual dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow observing the scene, while an ironic text overlay states, 'nothing beats Thessaloniki Greece sea.' This visual commentary is accompanied by an upbeat advertisement jingle for Jet2Holiday, creating a jarring juxtaposition that highlights the unexpected reality. Comments on the video suggest local residents are aware of the issue, with some attributing the presence of dead rodents to recent heavy rainfall causing sewage overflows. One commenter noted, 'From the storm, all those inside the pipes drowned and ended up in the sea.' The footage has sparked discussions among viewers about the city's environmental management and the impact on its public spaces.
