Reports from Corfu detail how some bars and restaurants on the Greek island are using deceptive tactics to overcharge British holidaymakers, including hidden charges, inflated prices and confusingly presented bills. The practice appears widespread enough that even staff working at some venues reportedly struggle to make sense of the pricing structures, raising concerns for tourists relying on trust when eating and drinking out while abroad.

The tactics highlighted include tacking on unexpected fees not disclosed upfront, charging significantly more than advertised or expected prices, and issuing bills that are deliberately or chaotically difficult to verify, making it hard for customers to challenge overcharging in the moment. The findings serve as a warning to British tourists visiting the popular holiday destination to check prices and bills carefully before paying.
