I was in Alanya (Antalya) Turkey a few years ago and loved it. Perfect weather, warm ocean. Very clean. I've been in Italy, but never on the coast. I thought about one of the islands (Sardinia, etc.) Here is what I want: 1) Good SAND beaches. I hate stone beaches. 2) Warm water for swimming 3) Sunny 4) Not too small; something to do at night I was in Thassos (Greek island) last year. Even though the island was beautiful, and the swimming was nice, the beaches are usually stone. At night it was absolutely boring; nothing to do at all. I'd like a nice hotel that has some prearranged activities (sightseeing, water skiing, scuba diving, etc.) What can you suggest? Can you explain to me what you mean by: "is very risk from be rub or get sick"? By the way, if you have trouble spelling, why not buy the highly entertaining "Hooked on Phonics" series? My grade school teachers were Catholic nuns, and they made us memorize all the rules of phonics. We practiced every day, and as a result I am a very good speller!
