Im looking at having an "extra" holiday in October half term for myself and 6 year old son, we had our "main" holiday in Cyprus back in May/June.
I LOVED crete, (Stayed at Stalis) Enjoyed Zakynthos (Argassi) but these were either may or sept visits.
Id like to go somewhere else in greece/islands, but am concerned about what the weather would be like travelling at this time (will be 21st October)
Which island is likely to have the best/warmest/driest weather, and is it worth risking ? I dont want to go on holiday and not to have sun lol
Any help/suggestions about where to consider and also possible hotels/apartments would be gratefully received
Thanks everyone

To be honest for any island, the weather will be a matter of pot luck in October. You could enjoy a week of blissful hot weather or a week of rain or something in between. Nothing can be guaranteed at the end of October. The other thing to consider is that quite a few places will be closing because it is the end of the season.
To give yourself better odds, then Rhodes, Kos or Crete are probably decent bets. Beware of travelling anywhere though that requires a ferry crossing because the timetables can be severely disrupted if a storm kicks in, which is more likely in October.
I love the islands in October because the crowds have gone so I don't worry too much about the weather but just take it as it comes. I would say 75% of the time, the weather is fine but chilly at night.
