I stayed at Hotel Eden just outside Rovinj in Northern Croatia a few years. Gorgeous. Rovinj is just like a little southern Italian town, cobbled and a big Church up a steep hill. Hotel food was really fantastic although we had loads of Russians there so could be a bit serile. The town itself is full of character. Car hire is cheap and the rest of the region is easy to get to if you don't mind mountain roads! Otherwise Lake Bled/Slovena

Rota near Cadiz. Beautiful and cheap as chips when your used to living in the Marbella area. Unspoilt, superb beaches wide variety of restaurants and bars at sensible prices.

I am going there myself for a long weekend this month.

Well we've decided on Crete for our week away, we've also gone all inclusive as the drinks in Europe have gone ridiculous.

We've chosen a quieter part of Crete as I'm not into living it large anymore

Looked on trip advisor and all good reports on hotel, we normally rent a villa tbh but the prices are stupid, haven't been in a hotel for about 7 years.

That joke was slightly funny the first time I heard it, but now after 15+ times ...

Cyprus.Try the Pafos end if you dont want the Ianapa slapper thing,then hire a jeep and explore the Akamas and the mountains.There are secluded beaches if you know how to find them.

Italy, great food, great scenery, friendly people. Some places can be pricey to stay but only in the really touristy areas.

Dalmation coast in Croatia.

Some of the Greek islands are still good, try Paxos.

We're off to Crete in July, hopfully Morocco in October and Italy for Christmas.

ibiza, just not the party side of things, try the opposite side of the island for a nice relaxed stay.

As has been mentioned, Crete is good. Maybe fly into Chania on the western side, then head south to Paliachora. Very nice area.

Kefalonia is nice too, albeit a bit pricey. Im a sucker for the Greek islands tho.

If you want to go further afield, Death Valley in California is stunning. I'd recommend staying at Furnace Creek, either the Ranch or the Hotel are amazing.
