I am in the opposite corner, Son taking my 84 year old mother away.
My problem, is the evenings. They tend to be long. A gentle walk after dinner passes an hour. but it has to be on VERY flat level ground. So I look for a new promenade at the resort.
But you have ruled out Turkey, very good 5*Ai . Will follow this thread with interest.
