A Greek MP last night called for the extradition of British tourists caught on camera having sex in the bars and beaches of the Greek island of Zakynthos, Europe's latest party haven.
Dimitrios Varvarigos told the Guardian that it was time to make an example of the scores of Britons committing "gross public indecency" in Greece.

After pictures showing revellers performing oral sex on one another in the town of Laganas were splashed across the front page of an Athens newspaper, Greek officials were trying to identify the tourists and holiday reps involved.

"Unfortunately, young Britons have been shown in photographs engaging in acts that are not only low-life but, frankly, criminal," said Mr Varvarigos, a veteran socialist MP.

"We're talking about a lot of people . As many as possible should be located, extradited if need be, and made to bear the consequences," he insisted. "Under Greek law that might mean enduring prison sentences of two or three years but it would set an example."

DEPORT all dodgy kebab-sellers says disgruntled post-E-Coli Londoner....

1. We went Zante

four or five years ago - it was heavenly We stayed in Kalamaki which is along the bay from Laganas - I'm with MR Varvarigos on this one. Money grubbing Greeks and British tourist companies will destroy it if they're allowed free reign.
We also did the day trip to Kefalonia - which i think may be even more gorgeous.
