we are in a similar age bracket and enjoyed Crete but we stayed away from the big resorts in a place called Sissie bay quiet if you want it some good bar/restaurants and lots of trips out

I would put in another vote for Crete. Last summer we went to the other side of the Island from Wizard, the Western part, flying into Chania.

There are various different resorts both quiet and busy and you would need to check them out to make sure you got one that was suitable for your needs. Its mountainous and rugged in places, and you have Samaria Gorge at that end as well. Because it's large I think there is a diversity that you may not get on smaller Islands.

Thanks
That sounds worth taking a look at. Flying from Scotland we don't get as much choice though

Hi! as a personal opinion, i would suggest Kefalonia. Beautiful scenery, lots to see and do, some great day trips to nearby islands and very freindly people! I always said i would never go back to the same place again (too many places to see in the world), but this year i am back for my 8th visit so i think that must say something!

I'll second that one...
Kefalonia for me as well
