There is a similar situation in other islands as well. [This](http://www.makeleio.gr/%ce%b5%ce%be%cf%89%cf%86%cf%85%ce%bb%ce%bb%ce%bf/%ce%91%ce%99%ce%a6%ce%9d%ce%99%ce%94%ce%99%ce%91%ce%a3%ce%a4%ce%99%ce%9a%ce%97-%ce%9a%ce%91%ce%a4%ce%91%ce%94%ce%a1%ce%9f%ce%9c%ce%99%ce%9a%ce%97-%ce%a4%ce%97%ce%a3-%ce%95%ce%a6%ce%97%ce%9c%ce%95/) page shows how the forest was chopped down in Samos and a large town appeared where everything comes from the destruction of the houses of the locals. [Here](http://www.ksipnistere.com/2019/12/blog-post_6453.html) is an example of a house that was almost 100yo with two floors and everything was taken and only the outside walls were left. In many areas the villagers used to breed animals and the "refugees" killed all of them and sold the meat inside those "towns". The pages are in Greek, but there are plenty of videos and photos that show what's happening.
