All,

My wife and I are looking to meet up in southern Europe sometime in mid-April. We're looking for a place where we can relax after a long few months. Somewhere that's warm-ish (whatever's possible for that time of year), relaxing, where we can avoid the logistics of multi-city travel, and yet have some culture around us that we can journey to on a day-to-day basis. We're fairly adventurous and experienced travelers (not our first trip to Europe, by any stretch)--Spain, Italy, Greece, and Turkey (not technically Europe, but who counting?) 're all promising candidates. Places like Amanzoe and Amanruya would be ideal, but are far too over the top--we don't need the private villas or the E1300/night price tag. But the idea holds--is there anywhere that I should be considering for a similar, though far less extravagant place for us to decamp to for a week and relax?

Thanks,
