I came back from Zante last year and went up to the highlands of Scotland for a few days.Beautiful scenery,nice and quiet, and a fair few things to do along the way.Not too expensive either.

Go on a bit of a tour, keeps you entertained and interested. All sorts of companies do them, takes you from town to town, you can visit all the sites etc. Worth looking into if you're bored of the beach holiday.

STA Travel seem to do some good tours which i'm looking at. Has anyone else used them before?

If you're looking for something 'out in the country', I've been here a few times...

Egypt.

Sharm El Sheikh seems very popular now.Only ever been to Cairo,and that is an experience i shall never forget!

Italy.

Stay away from where the commoners go, Lake Garda, Stresa, Laveno etc.

Rome is fantastic, Milan is gorgeous, Verona is stunning and Lake Maggiore (if you keep off the beaten track) is probably one of the best places I've ever been to (you can easily pop over to Switzerland as well).

Incredibly romantic.

I went to Dahab last year. It's about an hour or so north of Sharm, and it's beautiful. I've heard lots of people say that Sharm is way too touristy nowadays, and that they'd prefer a more "real Egypt" next time. I'd recommend Dhab any day. So much in fact, that i've just booked up to go back there for 10 days or so in October. Then we're gonna head back down towards Sharm, and stay somewhere about 15 mins away for another week... somewhere very quiet i'm led to believe.
