Bild: Achtung - Britische Touristen!
Germans told how to avoid British tourists
Germany's biggest-selling newspaper has printed a guide to help readers going abroad to avoid British tourists.
Bild's contribution to the annual battle of the beach loungers was sparked when a British holidaymaker, David Barnish, was awarded £750 in compensation after suing his travel company over a vacation at a resort filled with Germans.
He complained of sun chairs being claimed at a record rate, of German-language-only programmes on the hotel's television sets and of personnel at the luxury Grecotel Park Hotel on the Greek island of Kos only speaking German.
Bild quoted a German legal expert saying that Germans who found themselves at an all-British resort would not have the same opportunity of suing.
Tanja Dauth, from the German last-minute holiday company L Tur, also said: "It's best to avoid the well-known English destinations from the beginning."
Bild printed six spots to avoid: the Bay of Palma, in Majorca; San Antonio, in Ibiza; and Playa de las Americas, in Tenerife. Also on the Bild blacklist are Ayia Napa, in Cyprus; Faliraki, on the Greek island of Rhodes and Malia in Crete.

The best way to travel is to avoid all resorts - what's the point of travelling if you only mingle with your own kind. Might as well not leave your country.
This is also useful for the British who want to avoid British tourists.
