On Tuesday, a story emerged online of three British men who, on their way back from a night out to Ayia Napa, took a wrong boat and ended up in Syria.
Club reps Lewis Ellis, Alex McCormick, and James Wallman said they'd boarded what they believed to be a dolphin-watching boat after a night out, only to discover that it was actually a ship destined for Syria. They apparently documented the accidental trip on Snapchat.
Ellis told Mirror Online: "We were wearing boardshorts, hungover, looking like we were ready for a boat party."
He said "everyone was foreign and it was pretty much halfway out from the island when we asked 'how come we're so far away from land?'"
