TOP OCTOBER DESTINATIONS

BOOK A HOLIDAY - FLIGHT & HOTEL PACKAGES

Teresitas Beach Tenerife

Tenerife

The verdant island of Tenerife is blessed with year-round warm weather sunshine guaranteed. In August, things can get a bit crowded, making it more difficult to reserve tickets for the cable car to Mount Teide, and other top attractions. October is perfect though, with lower numbers of visitors, temperatures in the high 20s, and cheaper hotels you can’t lose.   

Maspalomas Dunes Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria

For natural beauty, Gran Canaria is hard to beat. Home to the amazing Maspalamos Dunes, this island hotspot will make you feel like you’re in the Sahara! The endless miles of wavy dunes and stretches of golden sand make Gran Canaria perfect for beach bums, while active types get to jump over the waves on a jet ski and take to the skies on a parasail ride.   

Bay of Aphrodite Paphos

Cyprus

Cyprus is one of the hottest destinations in Europe during October, when daytime temps average 27°C. Travel before the half term break at the end of the month, and you’ll have the island’s stunning beaches practically to yourself. Some of our favourites include Coral Bay in Paphos, Finikoudes in Larnaca, and Nissi Beach in Ayia Napa – lotion at the ready!   

Castle of St. Peter Bodrum

Bodrum

This sophisticated beach resort on Turkey’s south coast brings the heat in October – expect 27°C and above. Discover a charming, exotic town full of shopping opportunities and places to eat, and an idyllic town beach with views of the Castle of St. Peter. It’s the ideal destination for culture buffs, foodies and beach lovers, just a 4 hour flight from the UK.   

View of Hammamet Beach from balcony

Tunisia

The beach resorts of Hammamet and Mahdia are high on the radar of savvy holidaymakers – and it’s easy to see why. Boasting exotic market towns, endless miles of sandy beaches, and world-class all inclusive hotels, holidays on Tunisia’s east coast are unforgettable. With October one of the cheapest months to travel, it’s time to plan your Tunisian escape!

Walkway in Hurghada Egypt

Hurghada

One for serious sun-seekers, expect temperatures in the low 30s. Escape the heat with a splash-about at one of the many hotel water parks in the area, or dive underwater on a snorkelling or scuba diving tour. Look out for clown fish, rays, and sea turtles. If you fancy a day trip, head down the coast to Marsa Alam, home to manatees and wild dolphins.
