I've been thru the greek islands, it is truly fabulous....but if you are budget dependant, think about Turkey.....Its not as developed as greece (tourism wise), which really makes it cheaper. Its kinda 'the other country' in the med....doesnt really get much respect as a tourist destination, I'm thinking because it is muslim.....but its not really muslim in ever sense of the word.....the only way you would tell is the mosques......The turkish people like to have fun, and they brew a great national beer called 'Effes'.
there are just a ton of roman ruins in and around the Med side of turkey....it was a favourite hangout Marc Antony and he built a lot of temples for Aphrodite etc etc....
You can rent a two bed/two bath apt in a complex with a pool, gym, wireless etc etc for about 200 GBP for a week (less than $400)....and food is cheap!!
In the area I went to, Side, there is just a ton to do, and you can always grab a ferry to cyprus for a couple days as it is fairly close by.......
