why do people come on here and totally slag everyone at down under off? if you didn't like it then fine, just say 'not my thing' and leave it at that. for you people who say "it was a right dive" or "there was nothing but underage people in there after 12" blah blah blah, firstly, how many 50 year olds do you know who party until 4 in the morning? and secondly, what exactly do u mean by underage? i don't see ANY bars in zante IDing people for drink?! get a life......

Rosie. Ok, i apologise for slagging off your generation, but you have to admit, it IS pretty unusual for over 40s to go out clubbing. I just feel that you are being unfair in slagging the under 18s off for having a good time. Just because they got served drinks (as they would everywhere in Zante as I heard there isn't an age limit to drink), this doesn't mean they are going to get drunk off their faces every night and cause trouble. Me and my friend visited Down Under 12 nights out of 14 and only saw 1 fight and that was between two grown men in their 30s, so i think its unfair to point the finger at us. I'm sorry that you didn't have a good time and I'm sure the staff at Down Under are too, but that doesn't mean you have to penalise us or the bar staff for that - you make your own holiday!

Jean. I totally understand your point of view and respect that you can have a civilised debate with me on this subject. Yes, you are certainly right when you say that young boys and girls are in danger of sexual situations, but that is surely not just in Down Under, not just in Zante but in every country which exists. Holidays do provide the capability of being able to pursue these "desires", but whether the teenagers choose to take this option is their decision. Down Under, as far as I can see, does not encourage sexual matters at all. Fair enough, they may squirt water up girls skirts and chuck ice down their tops, but they need to provide a service that people want and that will get people coming back and this is what teenage girls want. I am 18, and have to say, had to warn a bunch of 14 girls away from a crowd of greek boys who seemed intimidating, but the fact that they were out at 2-4am... well, isn't that the parents responsibility?
