Kos migrant crisis is putting off holidaymakers
Inquiries for accommodation on Kos have fallen by 52 per cent following reports that Middle Eastern migrants are "spoiling the atmosphere” for holidaymakers

By comparison, interest in several other Greek islands rose during the same period – by 66 per cent for Kefalonia, 28 per cent for Mykonos, 14 per cent for Crete, Rhodes and Santorini and 13 per cent for Zakynthos (Zante).

I saw the Mail article and looked at the (English-language) Greek media, I got the impression the Mail (and a few others that latched on to the story) were making a meal of it. Could be good news for Kef, all the same.
