My husband and I are longing for the sun and the salt and violence of the ocean. Lake Geneva is nice but is just not filling the void.

The parents in law are coming for the end of August and all of September (almost 6 weeks ) meaning that we cannot get away for a break until the beginning of October.

We were thinking of heading to Santorini in Greece but are a little nervous of the strikes etc. We cant afford to get stuck there as we have to leave for a 3 month work trip just afterwards.

Can anyone suggest a good location for 10 days to 2 weeks to relax by an ocean, eat good food and wander the cities (nothing overly strenuous... I'm recovering from inlaws! )?

We're not into clubbing but love live music, so my friends Ibiza suggestion is out!

We spent 10 relaxing days in Playa de Muro in Mallorca. Very nice and clean beaches, crystal clear water and the food was great! Perfect for doing nothing much.
