Puglia is lovely. Stayed a few years back in a villa near ostuni. Easy to drive to all local restaurants/beaches etc. some cracking seafood places along the coast

Probably do West coast of Ireland instead...Galway,Mayo and Donegal as great driving countryside 
Be honest, you couldn’t afford to go anywhere nice so you’re driving round Ireland. You absolute tramp.
 
​​The funny thing is of all the holidays listed here, driving around Ireland for a week is probably the most expensive. The place is an absolute money racket. And then its pissing down most of the time. The last couple of weeks have been gorgeous, though. The drive - wild atlantic way - is worth doing but just avoid dublin. Its a shithole.

Second that - the atlantic way is nice, Galway area especially. Rains a shit ton tho

Gallipoli looks good. Stay in town or outside and get cabs in the evenings?

are you flying into Bari or Brindisi?

I would say Gallipoli, Polignano a Mare or Otranto.

You could stay in Lecce and prob visit all of those, but Lecce isn't on the beach.

I've signed up to go on one of those Bezoz' "space flights" then I'll be able to call myself an astronaut.

Wife and kids are off to Nova Scotia to see wifes sister in August.  I can't join them, had a major operation and artery replaced in my leg this year and long-haul is not recommended until the blood flow is improved and I have an angioplasty booked for next week.

I may drive over to Normandy for a few days while the wife and kids are away or fly over to Albania again.

Yes mate. The missus spotted it. We have done loads of islands. But when she showed me Pargas we loved the look of it. We originally was going Seville and then to Marbella but missus said it was a long time to wait for some good weather. We have only gone apartment with a pool and does breakfast only. We have told the kids its not going to be extravagant - No entertainment, no pool games, no games rooms etc etc. Little bit  more back to basics and bit more traditional. 

I will let you know what its like.

See if there is a restaurant called Uncle Simmos still there. Went in 89 and was pretty good. if it's still going they must be doing something right. 
It certainly is mate, its Mrs V's favourite. They do a cracking seafood risotto, and its a lovely spot on the harbour.
