ZANTE CONFLICTING REPORTS

The Greek Island police have rejected the UK tabloid claims of teens being poisoned by bootleg booze on the Greek Island of Zante!

Although this is not the first time that Zante has been in the news because there was a case in 2017 too!

In the Daily Telegraph article it cites a 20 year old from Coventry - Jack Taylor claims that holiday reps had warned the youngsters about certain bars in the town of Laganas: So if the reps know what is happening - what is being done about it!

How can these reports be so conflicting and at the same time the Turkish Lira is plummeting!

I've always found the Greek people to be very hospitable - welcoming and protective of their visitors - bearing in mind that Greece depends on tourism! The Greek word "philoxenia" is translated as "hospitality" although it means far more than that!

As all of the cases reported are on the same Island it makes one wonder who exactly is trying to harm Greek tourism and that's for the Greeks to investigate!
