Recommend me a holiday destination

[G]

The galdana hotel has nice villas with jacuzis etc, that where we stayed.

I reckon you would like Rhodes old town, it's a fantastic place, the roads in the north of the island are unbelievable too.

New Zealand! Though given that we are on our way into winter, I'd wait about 6 months

Love to mate, I've never fancied Australia but new Zealand is a place on the list at some point.

They are completely different (having lived in both for a number of years). NZ is great - especially if you hit the roads down south. True, the weather is a little cooler than Oz, but it has so many other cool things going for it.

What sort of budget? There's some beautiful places on the Med if you can spend the money. Unfortunately now that I have three to pay for 'per person' at full price, it puts those places into a price range I'm not prepared to stomach for a two week holiday.

As little as poss, if money was no object I'd be having a villa tbh, but got a lot to pay out this year, also my France trip in September.

Oh Phil I wasn't kidding. Javea Spain. Really lovely town. Basically split in two. One side is a little bit party town but not ridiculous and the other is the old town with the port and the church.

Although it's quite far from an airport so you'd need a transfer or hire car.

Well Spain is probably going to be one of the cheapest, so it's just a case of picking the places that more upmarket and aren't full of hen & stag do's. Marbella or Puerto Banus mainland, Portals Nous or similar in Majorca, or not the med but what about Grand Canaria? Mogan is nice (not to be confused with nearby Taurito, which is probably nice, but it a purpose built hotel complex, which often gets advertised as Mogan, but its miles away).

Maybe Turkey would be cheaper, but I wouldn't know where to go.

The Greek Islands in the Ionian Sea are nice (Zakynthos, Ithakis, Lefkas, etc)

You could do worse than look at Sidari in Corfu or most places in Crete.

I went to Egypt in 2009, as you'd expect stinking hot, but the people were great. The snorkeling and diving was unbeliieeevable!!!

Skiathos - But you'd probably want to be near Skiathos Town or Megliamos. The Koukonares end is too isolated.
