beautiful sea & coastline.

Go before they do find out

+1. Stayed on a great island called kolocep a couple of years ago, was fantastic and really peaceful.

Cala D'or or S'iliot or any of those places on the east coast of Mallorca? We had a cheap break in Cala D'or a few years ago, not many kids, not many chavs or tacky places either. Our hotel had a few kids and the restaurant wasn't up to much, but the town centre was built for visitors so it's all decent restaurants and shops. Lots of Europeans as well, not just Brits. We were very pleasantly surprised.

West coast of Majorca is stunning too, small towns like Deia, but it's expensive and very quiet.

Croatia is not so cheap this year, the celebs have discovered it and pushed the bloody prices up!

Actually, there are really good deals for Sharm El Sheikh now. One of my
female colleagues is going there for her hen night (turned hen week, you
have to go for at least a week to get a good deal). And Sharm El Sheikh
has not been affected by the Egyptian revolution as it is too far away from
Egypt proper, it is like a separate country.

I myself normally go to the Dominican Republic. Been there around 7 times
now and even explored the island on a 125cc motorbike.

Turkey. South west Turkey is stunning. Best seen from a boat - you should consider staying on a yacht. Easy to get to - flight to Dalaman. The peninsula west of Marmaris is beautiful, Marmaris itself is a hot Blackpool.

A Constantinou brothers hotel in Cyprus. They are all rather posh, and two of them are adults only. You want a place where the food is outstanding? Nowt like a Greek Island to stand upto the plate on that score, history, bags of it, quiet places with beautiful views everywhere. Beaches, if you are in the know are found where chavs and 'orrid cockney kids don't know about!

Wherever you go in the med these days its overrun by bloody brits, you get touts everywhere, 'ere, mate you British?' Unless of course you are halfway up Troodos mountain, wishing you were on a bike

Try Tobago
Lovely place with secluded beaches
also 1st week of June will be quiet as they will be entering the wet season
(i went there on June 11th and had one 20 minute downpour which was very refreshing)

Agreed. Or Paleokastritsa, just a litle further down the west coast. Peaceful resort that still has some local charm, good mix of accommodation, and is well away from the "English pubs" that ruin the south coast.

One down side - I'll be there in the first week of June!
