Sharm el sheikh in t'egypt (beware of the water )
Marmaris in t'turkey (loved the resort, just didnt like getting there. 5hour flight gets delayed by 2 hours nearly everyday apparently + 2 hour coach ride with some crazy guy driving to get to the hotel )
Corfu
Cyprus?

+1 for Egypt, is really cheap and always hot. Scenery and diving is amazing. Not that much nightlife but there is a place called Naama Bay which has a few restaurants, bars and clubs.

Only downside is the constant hassle you get of the natives to buy tat from their crappy shops. It's funny the first couple of nights but after 2 weeks you just want to punch them.

That's the thing.

The Camels I came back with handy to have around the house though so it wasn't all bad.

For out and out relaxation what about a cruise?

Also I was thinking of doing Ireland on the bike next year... maybe you`d like to come with me?

South west Turkey is beautiful. And very very hot. We were there last October and it was about 30C then. Didn't have any flight delays (to Dalaman) and the transfer was good. Didn't go to Marmaris, we were island hopping on a friend's yacht, maybe you could try getting on a boat charter?

LOL they are cheap out there aren't they. Was quite funny seeing a woman back at Gatwick pleading that the 2 suitcases full of ciggies she brought back were for personal use.

Egypt:

If you're into diving Sharm would suit, there's a couple of lively bars in town but it's not too rowdy. If you prefer a spot of culture Luxor is just over the river from the valley of the kings and it's a short ride to some fairly impressive temples. If your budget will stretch to it you could consider a Nile cruise.

It won't be loafing on the beach weather though and it can get quite chilly at night so pack a fleece.

Southern Caribbean:

If you can find a reasonably priced flight I'd consider somewhere in the southern Caribbean. Maybe Dominica or Barbados. Temperatures should be nice, in the mid twenties with cooler evenings. They are little islands where nothing happens quickly, ideal for a relaxing break.

How bout a Med crusie or Baltic cruise?

Firstly, can I come?

Secondly, the Algarve is nice. I have been to Albufeira twice and it has got a bit of both, they have the old town and the new town. The new town has the strip with all of the bars and clubs and the old town is less noisey, lots of little restaurants.

Also, Cala D'Or in Majorca, same thing, has a few bars and clubs but has lots of quiet areas and places to chill.Both have beautiful beaches.
