Urn-believable.
A tourist appeared to pour a loved one’s ashes out on the streets of the world-famous Greek tourist destination Santorini in a bizarre viral stunt.
The visitor, believed to be British, has sparked fury after footage of her surreal moment was shared on social media.
In the video, the group of visitors can be seen singing Bob Marley’s 1977 hit “Three Little Birds” as they walk through the streets of Oia on the north side of the island.
The woman sprinkles ashes on the cobbled streets as they walk past residents’ houses.
It was reportedly the deceased’s final wish to have their ashes scattered in Santorini, an island that has seen soaring tourist numbers due to social media influencers.
But their actions were branded a “health bomb” by a representative of the local Chamber of Commerce.
“You can’t just throw ash everywhere. It’s constantly windy on our island, so all this went everywhere, on passersby, shops and houses. Some limits must finally be set,” the representative told local media.
In Greece, scattering of ashes is only permitted under certain conditions, and only in specially designated memorial areas, in an open space outside residential areas, or in the sea.
So far, there are no details on whether the woman was punished or fined by local authorities.
