hi Sinkweight

i get the feeling you want to be off the beaten track...

The Seychelles islands could fit that description.. or the Comores or Madagascar.

The African Indian Ocean islands are fantastic to visit, quiet and have controlled tourism quotas. The Mediterrean is beautiful but it's hectic in the summer, too many crowds and boats. Adrian could give you a better insight.

Madagascar has a lot of offer on land and in the water.. check it out. Its a long way from where you are, but would be well worth a two week vacation.

I have a friend who went diving in Sudan recently, and she said it was an amazing trip, best fish/coral life she has ever seen.
