‘Instagram island’ has been changed to overcrowded by rats ramped: “Even if you would pay me, I don’t want to go there anymore”

Comino, known for its crystal clear water and iconic Blue Lagoon, moans under mass tourism.

Overcrowded beaches, thumping beats and a growing rat plague threaten nature and make the place unlivable for many locals. Environmental activists are the alarm bell and demand drastic measures.
