Autumn holiday - wheelchair disabled

I'd like to go on my hols this autumn, but am newly in a wheelchair. I've had a look at some of the other post suggestions and gone to travel agents, but am either horrified by the price (£3000 for a fortnight's cruise for my OH and me), or not really keen on the breeze-block-in-Benidorm packages.
I know that packing my collapsible wheelchair is not a problem for flights, but I'm worried about my OH's back. He's in pain after a couple of hours of pushing me around, let alone for a fortnight. The problem is: we're culture vultures, so we really do want to get out and explore.
ANy ideas or advice gratefully received.

    Preferably. We haven't gone abroad much at all, just the occasional short trip, so looking forward to a proper long holiday somewhere.
