Turkey for me would be Icmeler and using a company called https://www.icmeleronline.com.
Greece would have to be Santorini or Kefalonia

Thompson ave now suggested Greece over Turkey as theres less ppl hassling you to buy from there shop. Is'nt Turkey cheap as chip though?

Turkey isnt as cheap as it used to be. If you go to Fethiye or Calis Beach there is very little hassling. Some of the resorts have introduced laws to stop the shopkeeprs and restaurant owners from hassling people, I think Marmaris was one of them but not sure how effective it is.

I used to work near Luxor, and have been recommending Egypt ever since. A great place to stay is the Movenpick in Luxor. There is plenty to see there too of course. I'd also recommend a cruise up the Nile too and a trip to Abu Simbel.

The Movenpick at Masa Alma is also a great place to stay.

Happy hols

marmaris used to be cheap not any,ore went there 2006 and it was cheaper to drink in a jd wetherspoons over here than there. if your goin go all inclusive as much cheaper. they do still hassle but not as much, when i first went there in 1996 they used to drag you off the street. the governement bouhgt some law in to stop all the hassle as putting tourists off

I would never go back to egypt,love greece but turkey beats them all.
There is no hassle in the Fethiye area at all as stated by op

Havign been to all three, I would recommed Egypt without a doubt. Turkey is fine but the hassling is incredible and in my view, the people were not as honest in their attitude/approach as people in Egypt. In Egypt, we stayed in Sharm el Sheik, the hotels were of a terrific standard and the service was second to none. Everyone spoke English and went out of their way to please you. Oh yes, wall to wall sunshine, terrific food and plenty of scope for shopping. I'll definately be going back. I would look online before finalising anything with you travel agent as it will give you scope to haggle for a better deal. Good luck and hope you have a fab time wherever you go!
