Some of you may remember the story to hit our headlines earlier this year when a group of 17 men were out in a lively part of Crete dressed up as nuns and were arrested, put in prison and sent to court after causing offence to the catholic community. Brits dressed as nuns Pictures of the men dressed up in nun’s uniforms appeared in our national newspapers and on the news channels. It might have appeared as a funny story to many but it is worth pointing out that you should take responsibility for your actions when abroad. Greece has put up with a lot of negative press in recent years due to the antics of drunken Brits, and it seems that enough is enough. Who would blame them? Some of the Greek islands survive on tourism so it appears that they wanted to send a message that anti-social behaviour would not be tolerated. Respect local cultures While many people might not be offended if you dressed up as a nun while on a weekend out in Blackpool you have to remember to respect local cultures. So, don’t organise a fancy dress night while on holiday without thinking, would it offend local people. Change of advice for travel to Greece Interestingly, the Foreign, Commonwealth, Office have changed their advice for British holidaymakers heading to Greece this summer. I would not be surprised if we see a crack down on anti-social behaviour when on holiday abroad this year.
