Hi,
I travel alone with my DS who is 9. I am currently looking for a sneaky break in October half term as we had 3 weeks in Florida/Orlando back in july and august but I missed a chance to relax and unwind and my favourite destination of Turkey.
I have been to Crete and Zakynthos, but looking at the weather for the end of Oct Rhodes along with Crete seems to get the better or rather higher of the temperatures. Obviously we would like it as warm as possible LOL we went to Ibiza at the same time a couple of years ago and I will never set foot on that island again, but I LOVED Crete (we stayed in Stalis) and Zakynthos we had a lovely time too (stayed in Argassi). For those who've been to Turkey, we've fallen in love with Olu Deniz and its almost the perfect resort, but Id like to go somewhere different
So, which would be the best resort for us at this time of year? and any tips would be gratefully received
We like
~ a nice beach
~ hotel or apartments which has swimming pool
~ a town or smallish resort which is nice to walk around in the evenings to get dinner and just wander.
~ don't really want or need AI as my son is the height of fussiness, we rarely make breakfast and dont like to be tied to meal times so am happy with SC.
~ a place where we can easily get to places to go on any trips etc
~ my son LOVES things to do such as mini golf etc, its a way to spend the evening
~ obviously do not need clubs and bars as it is just me and him
Can anyone recommend a good resort which would suit us, and also recommend place to stay?
TIA
Hello, I am sure that everyone on here will have lots of suggestions but as far as resort goes I would think that Pefkos might suit you. Its very family friendly- more families and couples than groups (like Falaraki), cheaper to eat out than Lindos with lots of places that have great childrens meals, the beach is nice and safe and not manic and its just a 7e cab away from lindos.
The resort is winding down but nearly everywhere is open.
The weather is great and we have only had rain 1 evening.
There are many many great restaurants and many had reduced prices last October.
The beach is mainly shingle,with sandy areas at both ends, but the sea is calmer than the main beach at Olu Deniz.
I dont know which airport you will be flying from but I would book soon before the flights are full. We went to the Parkim Ayaz hotel in Gumbet HB in May and it has lots for children including free mini golf and a climbing wall.

Sorry!
I know its easy to get carried away about Turkey . . .
Thanks, I was looking at pefkos earlier, and managed to find a week staying at the Pefkos Beach, Hotel and apartments which have great reviews on here for about £230 each (I have to pay adult price for DS) so am thinking thats kinda not too bad . . .
Anyone recommend any particular place to stay? I just need a week away to relax, but can get bored day in day out by the pool so like to venture out. And is it warm enough for Sea/pools at the end of October ? We'd be flying out on the 21st
Which company is charging adult price for a 9 year old ?
all companies charge adult price for my son as I am a single parent, so as there's only one adult, I have to pay adult prices for him.
Hi Karen. I did not know about that ruling. Its disgusting. Something should be done , to get changes made. Possibly thro the EU.
