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?

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.

We fly out on Wednesday to Rhodes

We are staying in Lindos/Lardos

Not really a clue about much of it yet, but can post up on 25th June when I am back with a review if you want

Funnily enough I went there about 7 years ago.
It was pretty good - we went off season so it was pretty quiet, but yeah feel free to update when you get back smile

I am trying to think of the name of the hotel we are staying at but I chose it as Trip Advisor rates it very highly and apparently there aren't many kids staying there (which is great for us)

Ok cool will let you know when I get back

Another place that my mates seem to like is Halkadiki but I dont know it myself

Not many threads being deleted, so you are probably right.

Get yourself up to Rhodes town and visit a restaurant called 'El Tamam'; it is just about my favourite place to eat in the entire world, <10 minutes walk from the old walled town.

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

thumbup Cheers I will make a note of it, not sure if we are in Lindos or Lardos now, waiting for the OH to come back off lunch and I will get the hotel name but will go to El Tamam regardless

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.
