The Greeks do have the right idea.
Pick one town on each island and just agree to write it off as a shit-hole. Be it Malia on Crete, Kardamena on Kos or Kavos perfectly placed at the furthest possible tip of Corfu. And I do mean 'tip'.
Then everyone else can pick and choose where to go for a quick sunny civilised break and happily avoid the end-of-school pissheads, chavs, burnt old Geordies and five generations of Scousers on holiday together. Nowhere else in the world is that organised.
The only slightly misjudged one is Laganas on Zakynthos, which ends up staggering and puking into an important natural reserve.
