A shocking 'chocolate-licking' contest where participants simulate sex acts on stage has caused outrage after taking place at a popular club in Zante.
A lewd video appearing to show the contest on the renowned Greek party island has circulated online, provoking fury in Greece.
The controversial footage, posted on TikTok and captioned 'just your average day in Zante', shows four young men, two topless, lined up against a wall.
Four young women kneel on the ground and bend over near the men's crotches, surrounded by dozens of revellers.
The bizarre competition, which took place last week and has been reported locally and on social media as an 'oral sex competition, is filmed by a number of fellow party-goers.
It has also sparked a police complaint, with Deputy Mayor for Tourism Angeliki Avgoustinou claiming the municipality has filed a complaint with police to investigate, Athens Voice reports.
However, the club has since hit back, claiming the video merely shows a 'chocolate licking' contest.
The venue told Npress: 'There was no oral sex. The game was about licking chocolate, in a context of humor and fun.
'It looks different in the video, but there was no sexual act.'
MailOnline has contacted the club and Greek Police for comment.
Local media have reported that 'questions are being expressed about the type of tourism we want to have as a country' as a result of the astonishing footage.
'This behavior caused disgust, violating human dignity and damaging the reputation of Zakynthos as a tourist destination,' Greek outlet Directus said.
'The lack of immediate reaction from the authorities intensifies the dissatisfaction of residents and organizations, who are calling for measures to protect public order and the image of Zakynthos,' it added.
'Every year this happens... all the Brits and Italians show up, and it's a total mess,' one social media user commented.
'I worked a season at a place a little further down. The video is pretty tame compared to what really goes down.'
Zante, also known as Zakynthos, is a hugely popular party island and thousands of young British tourists flock in their droves every year.
The alleged competition is far from the first controversy to take place on the island.
In 2008, nine British women were arrested while on holiday on prostitution charges after being paid to take part in an oral sex competition.
Meanwhile, last month an enormous brawl broke out at a Zante beach club.
A pair of topless young men in white shorts appeared to be fighting with several older men, also all dressed in white, while a huge mob encircle them.
At one point what seems to be a member of bar staff chucks a bucket of ice water over the crowd to try and disperse the violent mob.
But their best efforts had little effect as seconds later the group hurl each other around and throw fists.
In the footage shared on social media, one of the young men can be seen swinging a savage punch at an older man's face in what was ironically dubbed a 'wholesome moment at the white party'.
Shocked members of the crowd can be seen pointing and laughing at the shameless fighters.
