Looks like Wife has decided against Turkey in Sept, been looking at maybe Crete or Corfu, never been before so could anyone reccomend an all inclusive ( half board at a push) in either.
Looking for a relaxing, not overly busy place, entertainment at night would be a bonus, oh, and good food 😃
Cheers 👍

Crete/Corfu

I have been to both islands numerous times and much prefer Crete to Corfu. Crete is much bigger and a lot more to see and do. Being bigger, it's a lot easier to get away from the crowds and noise. Where are you thinking of staying?

Love Crete, been there 3 times, albeit the last time was about 20 years ago. I find the Greeks very amiable too, unlike most Mediterranean cultures the Greeks are able to laugh about themselves and have a great sense of irony.

I go to Greece every single year, I love the place..
Crete, Rethymon is a lovely wee place loads to do and not overly busy.
Corfu, Paelokastritsa is superb like the guys above mentioned , Plenty beaches and again not overly busy.
Where ever you go in Greece you are guaranteed the place will be clean and the people are very very nice

Corfu Town/City is well worth a visit if you fancy a day trip.

Looking for a reasonably priced week in October somewhere hot probably Canaries but looking a bit pricey just now. Doesn't help that missus works in a school so is tied to school holidays.

Love Greece. Haven't been for a few years but went regularly pre kids in the 90s. Favourites were Andros, Skopelos and Samos. Also been to Aegina, Zante, Kefalonia, Crete and Kos.
Great food, great people, great country. Think I'll look into a wee island visit for 2017.
