Estate Prices: Tourist Occupation and Hollywood Idyll

estate prices: One way of looking at the transformation from military redoubt to Hollywood idyll is as a triumph of freedom of movement over draconian restrictions, according to The Guardian. But that's not how the Croatian philosopher Sre ko Horvat sees the resulting media attention, rising real estate prices and what he calls the tourist occupation of Vis, where he now lives. Two years ago it was the location for Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, doubling as the fictional Greek island of Kalokairi. Where once there was a sustainable local community, he writes in his new book, Poetry from the Future, there are weekending easy Jet tourists; where fishermen's boats once rode at anchor, now luxury yachts are moored. He's friends with the former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, with whom he set up the Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 DiEM25 . He was a regular visitor to Julian Assange, before he was extracted from the Ecuadorian embassy. You probably haven't heard of Horvat, though you will have heard of plenty of people who have.
