Where to go in October, please?!

Im thinking of going away with my family 20th October for a week.

I love Turkey but not sure of the temperature then. Has anyone been in October, please?

My other alternative is Fuertenventura which, being a Canary Island, is renowned for warm weather during the autumn/winter months.

Any help/advice would be much appreciated

Cheers

A bit hit and miss I suppose. My Mom once went to Malta in November and it was in the 90's for the whole two weeks!

I have been in Turkey in October many times and it has always been beautiful weather, although it can get quiet chilly in the evenings. We went to the Canary Islands a couple of years ago in July and the weather was not good then, it was far nicer all the times I have been in Turkey in October!

Re: Where to go in October, please?!

Thanks everyone for your replies. Its much appreciated.

I guess it could be hit and miss anywhere. Ive been to Turkey in July which, to be honest, was too hot. I love Turkey, though, and would love to take my partner there who has never been. It would be such a disappointment if we went and it wasn't good weather. Then I will wish I went to Fuertenventura!!!

Hmmm, decisions, decisions :rofl

Of all the destinations mentioned Egypt is very unlikely to be hit or miss.....you should be looking at sunny and in the 30's.

Hi
We went to Fureteventura end of October last year and had a lovely week, the locals did say it was hotter than usual for the time of year. It was in the 80s. I think it is okay for most of the year just can be a bit breezey
We have also been to Portugal,Cyprus and Gran Canaria similar time, weather was great on all the holidays.

Hi jennyt,

You can a get rough comparison on the Trip Planner at Wunderground. Just enter your possible destination and dates in the box on the right hand side and up comes a summary based on the stats from 1996 to the present. Unfortunately you can only do one place at a time.

Been to gran canaria in October half term and in the 30s. Also been to costa del sol a few times and weather quite changeable. Although last year had a full week of sunshine in the late 20s and swimming in the sea every day but just can't rely on it. This October will are trying Tenerife which I have been told will be in high 20s to 30s. Heres hoping.

Re: Where to go in October, please?!

We went to Gumbet last October and had great weather every day bar one. It rained torrentially through the night on one occasion but all cleared up by the morning. The days are shorter for sure and it can cool down rapidly at night but we're heading back for exactly the same week this year :tup

The Canaries should still be very warm, I've been to Lanzarote in October and had a glorious week, no cloud, no rain.

Re: Where to go in October, please?!

I would go with Egypt too . Plenty of hotel's with waterslides and guaranteed sun/heat. :tup

We are big Turkey fans but love a week in Egypt too around Easter . Sharm el sheikh is the obvious choice but there are other resort options too.

Re: Where to go in October, please?!

Thanks you two for your replies.

I have looked at Eygpt and, whilst I am not against the idea at all, the prices are alot higher. Flights to Egypt are £400-£500 whereas I have found flights to Turkey for £619.00 for the four of us which includes luggage.

Myself and my partner have already been to Goa in January, so I am looking to keep the costs down a bit in October. I appreciate, tho, the weather may be better in Egypt than Turkey. I can't win !!

Thank you for taking the time to reply :tup

Re: Where to go in October, please?!

Thanks cazB.Yes they are teenagers. They should introduce holidays for free teenagers

Booked my flights to Turkey yesterday. £619.00 for the four us from Stansted to Dalaman including luggage. I think we are going to stay at the Orka Club & Villas in Ovacik but haven't booked that as yet. The reason I booked my flights so early was that I looked on easyjet for flights for my daughter in July last Saturday and by Monday they had gone up £100.00 :yikes

Didnt want to take that chance and have to times it by four!!

Thanks again for all your help and advice. Just got to sit and tum te tum til 20th October ......
