Greek MEP savages Brexit – but implores Britons to KEEP holidaying there
A GREEK MEP has vented his anger at Britain’s decision to quit the European Union but has implored Britons to keep supporting its failing economy through tourism.

He said: "Greek people are not big on English tea and don’t particularly love beans on toast, but I guarantee to you, every Greek child knows Harry Potter and the Premier League."

In terms of tourism, the University of the Aegean found that the majority of beds is concentrated on a limited number of islands: Crete has 164,249, Rhodes 84,942, Kos 45,097, Corfu 43,940 and Zakynthos 28,837, while these are followed by Evia, Santorini, Myconos, Thasos and Cephalonia, which all have more than 10,000 beds. At the other end of the scale, Greece has 12 islands with less than 100 hotel beds and another 12 with no hotels at all.
