Cyprus, Malta, Crete, Greek Islands or Tunisia or else?

I'm looking for the perfect spot for a beach vacation with my bf in June. Which of the countries above offers the best lagoon-type beaches? We don't like places that are too touristy but we like restaurants, bars and shopping, we're not into clubbing. We're in our 30s and would like a nice beach vacation together. Any suggestion?

2. I am from Malta and i suggest you stay away from Tunisia Althogh Malta has very nice beaches i think Malta wouldn't be the best choice for you either as beaches often get too crowded and too touristy. We have excellent restaurants and plenty of shopping centers. However i have never been to the Greek islands but if i were you i would opt for that. I would really love to go to Greece one day.
3. North Cyprus is absolutely what you are looking for! How about golden sandy beaches that either stretch for miles, or nestle between rocky headlines, so secluded that rare sea turtles bury their eggs there. Or local restaurants serving fresh fish, fabulous local mezes or authentic kebabs that sizzle on open grills, accompanied by local wines or cool Efes beers. Or friendly bars you can discover amongst the winding medieval streets of Kyrenia, a bustling town with an almost impossibly pretty Venetian harbour. And how about prices that are around a third cheaper than south Cyprus, because North Cyprus uses the Turkish lira, not the Euro? Tempted?
