Some tourists even gave up on their holidays in this country. However, such reactions seem to be slightly exaggerated - particularly when it comes to the Greek islands. Things were and still are quite calm in the islands. Unfortunately, some popular resorts have a depressing look about them. An example? The island of Kos.
