Greek taxi drivers to be taught manners

(05 December 2006)

Taxi drivers in Greece are to be taught better manners, the country's tourism minister has announced.

Greece plans to spend £1.2 million on lessons after taxi drivers' poor behaviour was cited as a source of irritation in visitor surveys.

Tourism minister Fani Pali-Petralia said 5,000 drivers would be given lessons, but did not say what they would involve.
