Two British women have been given a six-month suspended sentence after a video of a scantily-clad photo shoot in front of a historic Greek landmark went viral, local media reports.

The performers, who are also said to have organised the photo shoot last week, have also been handed a €200 fine covering court costs.

The troupe had been arrested over the weekend and charged with violating archaeological law and degrading the surrounding area after their racy performance at the Old Palace of St. Michael and St. George.

But three were acquitted and told reporters outside court that they are 'really sorry for causing any offence'.

The tearful women looked downcast as they admitted they 'let down' people in Greece and the UK and were thankful 'justice has been served'.
