The Faliraki Flyer

Book excerpt: You''ve seen the news reports, watched the TV show, Maybe even been on holiday. But what is it really like to live and work in Faliraki? In twenty years it went from being a sleepy collection of tavernas to a large commercial resort. But who were the people that built it? In the 1990's a motley assortment of drunken pioneers, desperado''s, glory seekers and idiots with nothing better to do paved the streets with broken Amstel bottles and made it the notorious den of debauchery the media couldn''t wait to destroy. This is their story of the boredom, the mayhem, the depravity and the ouzo trail. This is the story of The Faliraki Flyer, the legendary newsprint that reported on those times, became an underground cult and whose booze-adled editor never sold more than 60 copies, This is the story you wouldn''t tell your grandchildren.
