Yes, but it isn't very "specific" to ask people to provide you with the names of hotels on beaches in Europe that cost less than $1200 a night for 52 weeks from now. It might be helpful for you to do a little bit of research yourself as to other places you'd like to go, and come back a month from now when prices are more likely to be set and you aren't just asking for a list of the hundreds of (maybe even thousands of) hotels in Europe that probably fit that criteria.
(also, I'm not sure what you think is fancy about Greece. There are likely hotels on Milos for between $200 and $1200...but you're looking too early for August 2024 for there to be rates at many of them. )
To help you with starting research, you can start with:
