In this episode of VC Mytilini we are having a look at the impact of the notorious online short-stay platform Airbnb on on Lesbos and Greece in General. With the help of Thimeos, and various people from the streets of Mytillini, we try to figure out why there is so much damn construction going on on the Island, friends are being evicted to make space for short-stay, and the rents are rising dramatically.
