Naomi Campbell's inner diva reportedly surfaced when she was forced to ride on a donkey because of a taxi strike in Greece.
The supermodel was holidaying in Rhodes when she was told that if she wanted to go sight-seeing, it would have to be on donkey-back.
A source told the Daily Star: “Naomi was desperate to see the Acropolis in the ancient town, but she was told the taxis were on strike so she would have to walk.
“There was no chance of her walking anywhere, and no-one dared carry her up the hundreds of steps in the 40 degree heat, so she was forced to climb on the back of a donkey instead.
“She wasn’t happy about it, moaning about the lack of air conditioning and the state of her hair.”
The insider continued: “No-one would have noticed her as she was quite dressed down but she had an entourage of 10 which made her stick out like a sore thumb.
“As one Greek man tried to take her picture she shrieked and headed to a local shop to escape.
“Her guards then asked the man to delete the shots.”

Naomi Campbell Becomes Fashion Designer?
Naomi Campbell has reportedly designed a line of jeans for Fiorucci.
The British supermodel is set to show her debut collection for the Italian denim wear label at Milan Men's Fashion Week - which is currently underway - although it has not been announced on event schedules.
While denim wear is thought to be an unusual choice for Naomi, 41, as she hardly ever wears jeans, she was spotted in denim at the recent Cannes Film Festival in May.
Fashion website Fashionista.com said: "It's a denim line and we almost never see her in jeans... [a] photograph from Cannes this year is bit of an anomaly."
However, on the rare occasions Naomi does decide to wear jeans, she usually relies on her close designer pal Victoria Beckham to get her out of a style rut.
She said: "Victoria is amazing, a real sister. When I'm stuck in a rut, she's always at the other end of the phone to send a pair of jeans.
"They work wonders on the legs. I love her designs. I'm always in them. I've worked with Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen and so many great designers. So I'm proud Victoria is up there too."
Fiorucci enjoyed huge success in the 70s and 80s and is now owned by Italian fashion giant Ittierre after financial and legal issues in the 90s

Naomi Campbell considering legal action over Cadbury advert
Supermodel Naomi Campbell is considering taking legal action against Cadbury after she took offence to their new advert.
The star is said to be unimpressed with the company's new Dairy Milk Bliss campaign, which features the slogan: 'Move over Naomi, there's a new diva in town.'
Campbell told UK newspaper Daily Mail: 'I am shocked. It's upsetting to be described as chocolate, not just for me but for all black women and black people.
'I do not find any humour in this. It is insulting and hurtful.'
Kraft Foods, which owns Cadbury, said: 'It was certainly never our intention to cause any offence and the campaign itself is a light-hearted take on the social pretensions of Cadbury Dairy Milk Bliss.
'Cadbury takes its responsibility very seriously indeed and we would never produce any marketing activity we felt might cause offence to any section of society.'

Naomi Campbell: `I love karaoke`
Naomi Campbell has revealed that when she is off duty, she likes to party at karaoke bars.
The 40-year-old supermodel, who has attended her fair share of VIP bashes over the years, said that she actually prefers to have a laugh with her friends whilst flexing her vocal chords.
She told the Daily Star, 'I love the karaoke.
'I once went to a disco place in Japan, like a nightclub, where all the women were on one side of the room and the men were on the other.
'It was so much fun, we did set dances a bit like the band Steps. It went on for a while - it was great.'
