The reputation of some Brits abroad has yet again ... to conclude that Turkey is attracting the wrong type of tourist.

..

 of Marmaris in early August. The young man from Carlisle stripped naked in front of a statue of Atatürk, the revered hero of Turkey, and put on a show for the gathering crowds. The act outraged the local population ...


In another recent incident in Marmaris, five British youths including a girl allegedly swam naked in the sea at one in the morning. ....


incidents of Brits behaving badly are witnessed on a daily basis.


So why has there been an increase in bad behavior at local resorts?

.....


The warmth of Turkish hospitality is famous ..... drunkenness and the bad behavior ..... “Do Turks really think that this is what we are all like?” said Nikki Taylor, while demurely sipping a coke. “Of course we like a drink with our meals but there is a difference between that and going out deliberately to get smashed.”


Marmaris residents watched in horror and thinly disguised rage as 19-year-old Thomas Strong pulled down his shorts and began swearing at the statue of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, .....

The British are incredibly privileged as, with the benefit of a British passport, ....


The lack of modest clothes, large consumption of alcohol and loud, raucous behavior..


....watching English tourists in some parts of Turkey was for her “an occasion of constant shock and amazement.”

No point any more!! lol

 Silly!  I DO do it - I dont think it is very horrific!!!  I agree that drunken Brits, peeing themselves, falling over in the street, throwing up everywhere etc. is horrible, but swimming naked late at night?  I really don´t think it is very "disgusting" at all!

There have been some complaints about that in Poland as well... Confused That is what happens when undeservingly priviliged population has access to things that are beyond their ability to appreciate, and they go and ruin them. So the say that Krakow is becoming a big British bar city! Puking
