Grecian Vacation Formula

Nine British women were facing prostitution charges after being arrested for taking part in an oral sex competition in the Greek holiday island of Zakynthos. No word who won.

Six British and six Greek men, including two bar owners, were also charged in the incident, which took place at Laganas beach in the south of the Ionian island, which lies off the west coast of mainland Greece. I hope they were just judges.

The women, who came to the popular resort on holiday, had been paid to take part in the competition, which was video recorded and was to be posted on the internet. Where, I ask? The men were charged with encouraging obscene behavior.

In recent years, Laganas has established itself as one of Greece's most popular destinations for twenty-something holidaymakers and is known for its wild party scene. Around 15 million people -- a fifth of them British -- visit the eastern Mediterranean country each year, drawn by its soaring summer temperatures, azure waters and sandy beaches.
