As per the title really. Myself and the OH are looking to go in Septemeber - we'd like somewhere not too expensive, but reasonably quiet with some nice restuarants nearby.
Any suggestions?

Any suggestions? Kefalonia. I prefer Fiskardo, but Skala is very nice as well. Stunning place. Been to most islands and mainland, but Kefalonia is my preferred place.

Some of the bars/cafes up high in Lindos are really nice places to sit with a beer too.

If you want a cheap get away but a nice hotel I'd recomend the hotel Anastasia in stalis on the crete island. Lovley smallish hitel, half board with lovly food. I get flights on sky scanner for around £150 and email the owner and book through him, quite often does deals out of school holidays too. And transfers when I book the flights are usually only about 11 quid.
Not beach front but about 5min walk away, plenty of restaurants about and places to go see.
Hotel is no.1 on trip advisor aswell

We're going to Sivota (mainland on a peninsula across from the bottom of Corfu) in a couple of weeks. Will let you know what it's like. Looks really nice, quite basic, but has a small marina and some good food apparently. Holiday was very cheap, about £250 each with flights and transfers.

I can highly recommend Elounda in Crete, my wife and I have been here twice and it is a very nice spot with some great hotels.
Try the Elounda Blu Hotel as a start.
