Action against rowdy Brits abroad
By Tamasin Ford
Newsbeat reporter in Zante
The Mayor of Laganas wants the resort to appeal more to families
Heavy drinking and bad behaviour by British tourists abroad has reached crisis point on one Greek island.
Officials in Zante are meeting British diplomats and officials to discuss what to do about young, rowdy tourists from the UK who cause trouble.
The Mayor of Laganas in Zante is so fed up he's demanding changes and says he wants to appeal more to families.
But there's a fear if young people stop going there, local businesses will suffer a downturn in trade.
The Laganas strip is 300 metres of bars and clubs that runs right down to the beach front.
You don't have to pay to get in anywhere and most give out free shots once you're inside.
There are no complaints from clubbers.
Leanne's from Dunstable. She's out in Zante with nine of her friends.
She told Newsbeat: "We're all dressed as mechanics. We're doing MOTs tonight and a lot of people need oiling."
