Rome CNN —It’s about to get just a little bit quieter in Venice –- at least that’s the hope of the city council, which has banned tour guides from using megaphones and limited the groups to 25 people. Exceptions to the changes, which came into force Thursday, include children under 2 years of age, and visiting students and educational trips. Tourists and guides who break the 25-person limit or use loudspeakers will face fines of approximately $50-$100. However, the city has said it will double the charge when it reinstates it, probably later this year. Officials on the Greek island of Santorini are considering limiting the number of cruise ships that can dock off its shores.
