THE number of British holidaymakers raped in Greece has rocketed, prompting the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to appeal to operators for closer co-operation.

Attacks have doubled in four years, with 34 reported cases of rape against UK nationals last year. Worryingly, the FCO also revealed that serious violent crimes against Brits had almost trebled since 1998.
