I need advice for my friends for next year, who are a couple aged fifty, they would like a flatish resort, quiet but with some nice bars and restraunts, nice beach and scenery, not corfu or zante as they have been there, and under an hour away from airport if possible,
Thanks Rosie
Stoupa would be perfect for them.
Based around a harbour - it's very pretty. The water is lovely and clear and there are a few little bays around the town. The beach is pebbly, the stones are lovely and smooth and you can buy roll mats to put your towl on if you think you'll be to uncomfortable but I don't know if they want sand? There are lots of places to eat, car & boat hire, supermarkets and a dive school, plus ferries run regularly from the harbour to other places and islands if they fancy a day trip and there are lots of lovely places around the island to see (caves, underground lake etc.)
Another possibility is Pythagoria , on Samos. That is only a matter of minutes from the airport.
Would agree with valtosmythos Pythagorion on Samos is fairly flat has some nice bars and restaurents. dont know about the beach there as we hired a car and went to lemonakia beach
Thanks so much for the information much appreciated
Skiathos ( koukounaries ) might be a good choice. Flat, good beaches, short transfer ( 30mins ), quiet but with plenty of good taverna's. Easy to get to Skiathos town for even more variety. However we have just come back and it is the most expensive Greek Island we have ever been to, so it will hit your pocket.
I agree with Rhombus about Skiathos, and it's got a great Nuddy beach.
pojo
We are of the same age and have been many times, we count many of the locals agongst our friends.
Highly recommended

For Skiathos then Koukounaries would be fine the Hotel Mandraki is opposite a path to the marina end of the famous beach, there are a cluster of good tavernas and hotels at the rear of the salt lake.
If you tire of the village then jump on the bus somewhere else (Every 15 mins) its €1 to travel half the island €1.40 into town (Compared to €20 in a taxi ). I ate well in Koukounaries in local tavernas. €12 - €16 per night last month including wine at the Apostolos taverna if that helps.
Stoupa town beach is fine, but to get to / from Kalogria (Best beach) there is a hill which you have to cross to / from if you are staying in the main resort.
Lakka on Paxos would also be good, it has a very attractive harbour and there is a limited bus service to the other resorts, but if you are there for a week, you probably would not want to go anywhere else.
