Kavos, Corfu: As featured in Channel 4’s What Happens in Kavos… it's a famous destination for 18-30s holidays and holiday reps, who are apparently pretty much encouraged to spend the entire summer drinking and frollicking with tourists.

Magaluf, Spain: Or, 'Shagaluf' as it's also known. The resort was featured in The Truth about Magaluf earlier this year which featured muggings, drug-taking and 'Pyscho Alley'.

Kos, Greece: Lots of the joys of Kos were featured on BBC3’s Sun Sea and Suspicious Parents, where parents secretly joined their teens on holiday and spied on exactly what they get up to on holiday.

And who could forget Malia, the holiday destination for the Inbetweeners boys' first lads holiday to the infamous strip:
