If you had been on the Greek Isle of Crete last Sunday you would have been treated to the vision of 17 rather sturdy and no doubt a bit unsteady looking nuns on holiday in full regalia, carrying wooden crosses with as much decorum as they
could muster, then with a swish, you’d have seen 17 hairy moons. This is not the scenery for which Greece is famous. "They were dressed like nuns, carrying crosses, but wearing thongs under their skirts and showing people their bottoms and the rest," said a police official who declined to be named.
After a night in jail, the men, ranging in age between 18 and 65 appeared in court Monday wearing the same nun’s habits in which they’d been arrested, and five o’clock shadows in all likelihood. In what seemed like a slam dunk case, it must have been torture for the judge to slam the gavel down proclaiming them to be innocent when no one showed up to testify against them.
It will go down in their memory books as one jolly vacation prank, and in the Greek court log as another headache caused by rambunctious British tourists. Brits make up only 15% of tourism, but stand out among the 15 million tourists each year due to their binge drinking and rowdy behavior. Those are stand-out odds. They are so bad that the town of Malia staged a march against them in 2007. I mean really, think about it, a tourist region marching against tourists! This either means you can’t take them anywhere, or people who live in damp,
grey weather lose their minds when confronted with sun, booze, and beaches. You’ll never convince anyone in Greece of the stately propriety with which the British are often typecast. The Greek are not amused!
