10 Best Greek Islands in October
So you want to take an autumn holiday, and want to find out which is the best Greek island in October. I’ve got five awesome choices of Greek islands to visit in October for you below.
Visiting Greek Islands in October
While the majority of tourists visit Greece in the summer, in recent years there is a trend for people to visit during the shoulder seasons, spring and autumn.
October, in particular, seems to be a popular month for people to visit Greece, as the weather is much warmer than most other places in Europe, and as such it can be a good off-season break.
Best Greek Islands to Visit in October
In this article, we’ve put together some information about 10 of the best Greek islands in October:
-
Crete – Best weather in October
-
Santorini – Great month for sunsets
-
Rhodes – Warm and pleasant
-
Mykonos – Quieter beaches
-
Naxos – A taste of authentic island life
-
Hydra – Short trip from Athens
-
Corfu – Good time for walking around castles
-
Andros – Hiking and outdoor activities
-
Kefalonia – Last warm sun of the year
-
Syros – Local nightlife
Weather in Greece in October
The weather in Greece in October can be quite variable. There will generally be some sunny days, but there will also be some rainy days.
It also depends where in Greece you are. For example the Ionian islands will have more mild temperatures than islands in the south of the country like Crete.
During the day, you can expect warm weather for the most part, so pack summer wear and plan for a few beach days! In the evenings, temperatures start to drop, and you will probably need a jacket, unless you come from countries with really cold weather and are used to it!
If your main aim when visiting Greece is to stay on the beach and go swimming, September is overall a better option, as the days are still fairly long and sea temperature is relatively high.
At the same time, if you want to go sightseeing in the cities, or if you want to go hiking on the islands, October is a perfectly fine choice.

Below are some of the best Greek islands to visit in October.
Crete in October
If we could only visit one Greek island in October, and had enough time to explore, it would be Crete.
With some of the mildest temperatures, some of the most diverse landscapes and some of the best food in Greece, Crete is an ideal destination all year round.
It’s often thought of as the warmest Greek island in October, and there’s plenty to see and do. The sea temperatures are also still warm enough for swimming, making it a good choice of destination for autumn sun holidays.

There are regular ferries from Athens to Chania and other destinations in Crete, but you can also consider a short flight from Athens airport.
There are also direct flights to Chania or Heraklion from several European cities.

Santorini in October
In our opinion, October is one of the best months to visit Santorini.
Even though cruise boats still visit the island on pretty much a daily basis, the island is considerably less crowded than in the summer peak season.
As a result, accommodation prices are lower. Most restaurants, cafés and bars are open, and the island is still lively, but not overly busy.
Swimming-wise, given that Santorini is not as south as Crete and Rhodes, the water might be a little cold, but most people should be fine to swim on a sunny day.
While on the island, it’s worth taking one of the popular day tours in Santorini, especially the volcano tour, or perhaps a wine tour of Santorini.
If you want to travel from Athens to Santorini in October, my suggestion is to fly, though you can also take a high-speed ferry if you prefer.
This article explains in detail how to get from Athens to Santorini.

Rhodes in October
For anyone who wants to have a beach holiday in Greece, but doesn’t have enough time to explore Crete, Rhodes is the other best Greek island to visit in October.
With mild sunny weather, an amazing medieval town, the stunning Lindos castle, and a bunch of beautiful beaches, Rhodes is a fantastic place to visit in October.
It’s best to arrange your accommodation in Rhodes town, as there is a lot to see there. You can easily spend two days just walking around the town, and visiting the superb museums.
Tip – on some days, you can walk on the Walls of the city as well.
When it comes to beaches, Rhodes has plenty to offer, and it’s best to rent a car if you want to explore them. From the famous Anthony Quinn beach, which is a paradise for snorkelers, to the faraway Prasonissi beach on the south, ideal for windsurfers and freecampers, you will definitely love the beaches in Rhodes.
Combine one of your beach-hopping days with a visit at Lindos Castle.
If you prefer not to drive yourself, you can take a guided bus tour of the island. There are many different ones available, some of which including Lindos. If you want to get off the beaten track, this is one of the best options: Rhodes Safari Tour.
Finally, you can also consider a day trip from Rhodes to Marmaris, in Turkey!
As ferries from Pireaus to Rhodes take at least 13 hours, the best way to get from Athens to Rhodes is by a short flight. There are several direct flights from European cities to Rhodes as well.

Mykonos in October
The cosmopolitan island of Mykonos is most well known as a summer party island destination for people who want to see and be seen. October though can be a good time to visit.
While the party scene isn’t rocking quite as hard as it does in July and August, it is still there, but it’s the beaches that are the main reason to visit Mykonos during October.
Of all the Greek islands, Mykonos does have some of the most incredible beaches, and with fewer people crowding on them, October may be just the best time of year to see them.
Early October would be better, as the sea will be warmer to swim in, and there will be less chance of rain.

Naxos in October
You might be surprised to see Naxos in the list of best Greek islands in October. However, Naxos has it all – history, mountain villages, pretty landscapes, and stunning beaches, so it’s really an ideal destination in Greece.
It should be warm enough be able to spend some time on the beaches in Naxos, especially if you visit early in October.
Related: Best Greek Islands For Beaches
Naxos has one of the most unique main towns in the Cyclades group of islands, with the white-washed town houses having merged with the Naxos Castle.
Allow a few hours to wander around, and allow enough time to get lost in the maze of tiny streets.
Apart from Naxos town, make sure you visit some of the mountain villages, such as Apiranthos, Filoti, Koronos and Halki.
In terms of food, Naxos has several unique meat dishes and many distinct types of local cheese, such as graviera and arseniko. Make sure you taste the local kitro, a distilled alcoholic drink, and consider visiting one of the local distilleries, such as Distillery M. G. Vallindras in Halki village.
Special events in Naxos in October include the Naxathlon, a special triathlon event, and the celebration of the “Ohi” day, when you will see parades out on the streets. Take a look here for some of the best things to do in Naxos.
You can get to Naxos either by ferry from the Athens ports, or via flight from Athens or other European cities.
Hydra in October
The cosmopolitan island of Hydra is popular among locals as well as tourists. Hydra’s role during the Revolution against the Ottoman Empire in 1821 was very important, something that locals take considerable pride in.
A small island closed to traffic, Hydra keeps an authentic charm in terms of architecture, with many 18th-19th century mansions built in unique style.
At the same time, Hydra has a network of trails that expand to over 80kms all around the island, and as such is an ideal hiking destination close to Athens. Apart from the beautiful nature, you will also see many monasteries around Hydra.
The island also has its fair share of nice beaches, some very close to the main town, and some others a long hike or a short boat ride away.
The island can be visited either on a day trip from Athens to Hydra, or for multiple days. Sea dolphins and ferries depart from Pireaus to Hydra port several times a day, taking anywhere from one to 3,5 hours to get to Hydra.
Note that if you are going to Hydra in late October, especially around St Dimitrios day (26 October) or the “Ohi” day (28 October), it’s best to reserve your accommodation and tickets in advance.
There are festivals and special events on the island, so it’s a popular time to visit among Greeks.
You might also see the “Hydra” sailing race, taking place around the 28 October.
Corfu in October
A visit to Corfu in the Autumn months is a time of year that many travellers choose for its atmosphere and peace. You can enjoy this very special Ionian island more than at other times of year, when you are spoilt for choice with activities on offer.
While October may be considered a shoulder season month to visit Corfu, it’s a great time for more authentic experiences. The sunny days are not too hot, and walking around the castles, fortresses and hiking trails is a lot more pleasant.
October is a good month for trips up into the mountain villages, and tasty local food in the tavernas that cater to year round clients and not just tourists.
Andros in October
Andros island in the Cyclades is often overlooked by people planning a summer island hopping trip, but it’s one to be considered for autumn travel in Greece.
Outdoor enthusiasts in particular will find that October is the best time to go to Andros, especially if hiking is a priority.
There is a network of trekking trails all over the island, connecting villages and places of cultural significance.
If you haven’t heard much about Andros island before, why not buy yourself a copy of our Andros travel guide on Amazon!
Kefalonia in October
The tourist season in Kefalonia may be drawing to an end in October, but the first two weeks still provide enough sun and warmth to keep swimming. Well, just about!
With no crowds, and the seasons turning, October can be a good time to see local harvest where grape picking and wine making start to transition into olive picking.
Syros in October
Famed for its neo-classical architecture, Syros is the capital of the Greek Cyclades islands. While the summer months are the most popular time to visit, October can be quite interesting.
With a lively student population, you can find bars and tavernas, live music venues and gatherings that have more of a local touch than you’ll find at other times of year.
You probably won’t want to spend more than a few days, but you could combine a visit to Syros with a stay in Mykonos with a little island hopping!
Which is the best Greek island to visit in October?
All things considered, Crete is the best Greek island to visit in October due to the good weather, warm sea, and abundance of things to see and do.
Which Greek island is hottest in October?
Crete is the hottest island in Greece in October. The day time weather can still have temperatures in the mid 20s and the sea is warm enough to swim in.
Is October a good time to go to Greek islands?
October is a good shoulder season month to go to the Greek islands, and also a popular choice with budget conscious travelers as well as people who want to catch the last of the European sun for the year.
Is it still warm in Greece in October?
Greece is still warm in October, with day time temperatures in the mid 20s. The evenings can get a little chillier, but it is still pleasant enough to sit outside and enjoy an evening meal if wearing a light top.

October- a Good Time to Travel to the Caribbean
Costa Rica October weather patterns.
October is one of the rainiest months on the west coast and one of the driest on the east. A good time to visit the Caribbean.
Select MonthJanuaryFebruaryMarchAprilMayJuneJulyAugustSeptemberOctoberNovemberDecember
or see best time to visit Costa Rica
The typical rainfall patterns are inverted this month some of the top itineraries to the Pacific resort areas get washed out. It’s the perfect time of year to get a bit off the beaten path and head to the east coast.
October Weather in Costa Rica
October is the rainiest month on the Pacific but driest on the Caribbean (other surprising secrets of October).
Days and even weeks of rain can be generated on the west coast and over the central mountains by the westerly winds called temporales del Pacífico. Many lodges and tours on the Osa and southern coast shut down operations.
October may be the rainiest month but the Costa Rica Time Machine can find the driest destinations.
Even the traditionally dry Guanacaste region has some rain most days and the unimproved roads of the Nicoya peninsula become impassable when the rivers rise and flood the fords.
On the other hand the Caribbean is basking in the driest and sunniest weather of the year. The mountains scrape the moisture out of the Pacific air and by the time it reaches the coast it’s just a warm wind.
Temperatures across the country are about as low as they ever get which means averages around 80 °F (27 °C) with lows overnight about 68 to 76 °F (20-24 °C).
Up in elevation by San José temperatures average 75 to 85 °F (24-29 °C) during the day. If you go even higher by Irazú Volcano or the cloud forests of the San Gerardos it even gets “cold” (52-66 °F and 11-19 °C).
The rainy season came in with a vengeance in back in October of 2017 as the low pressure system from tropical storm Nate in the Caribbean pulled warm moist air from the Pacific across the central mountains producing record rainfall, flooding and damage on the western side and Costa Rica’s costliest natural disaster ever. It continued wetter than normal well into January 2018.
Planning Ahead & Reservations
In general “green season” (rainy season) travel is gaining popularity in Costa Rica, but on the Pacific side and in the mountains it’s unlikely any except the most popular hotels will be fully booked.
If you want the flexibility of traveling without a fixed itinerary or reservations October can be a good choice as long as you don’t want to go to the Osa. If you choose to travel to the southwest check to make sure that the hotels and lodges you’re interested in are actually open and accessible.
The drier weather in the southern Caribbean this time of year makes it a relatively undiscovered rainy season bargain but word is getting out quickly and if you have your heart set on a particular hotel you should probably have reservations.
Costs & Availability for Travel in October
The instant trip cost calculator is a quick easy way to get an idea of how much you’ll spend on a trip to Costa Rica in October.
instant trip cost calculator – no app to download, no mailing list to join
Lower numbers of travelers mean lower prices and most places on the Pacific side offer discounts of 20-40% throughout October. On the Caribbean October is the high season so discounts are generally not available.

Notes:
2022 is likely to be a wild ride in October with equal odds of La Niña which normally brings even wetter weather to the Pacific side or La Nada which increases unpredictability.
The 2022 tropical storm and hurricane season is projected to be much more active than normal and while they rarely make landfall on Costa Rica’s shores they can have a huge impact on rainfall. Surprisingly although hurricanes are a Caribbean phenomenon they often have their main impact on the western side of Costa Rica. The low pressures draw warm moist air off the Pacific and across the country causing torrential rains, flooding and mudslides.
If you’re planning to rent a car you should take a look at the rainy season driving tips.
Carnavales de Limón was cancelled for several years due to lack of funding. In 2017 it was revived in January, cancelled in May, resurrected in July and then postponed due to Tropical storm Nate. It came back briefly in 2019 but of course was eliminated by the Covid pandemic. There are no plans for 2022.

rest and weather in Turkey
Less and less heat in the rays of the autumn sun, more and more frowns the sky and it rains – this is October in temperate latitudes. But it is worth getting on a plane – and in two or three hours it will take you to where summer does not even think of losing ground.
October in Turkey is considered the velvet season, when you can enjoy your vacation by the sea, without being burdened by the heat, the influx of tourists and inflated prices. Read about the weather in the resorts and what to fill every day of travel with children in the Kid Passage review.

Holidays in Turkey in October: what will please the end of the holiday season
There is a huge difference between those who have a rest in Turkish resorts in the middle of summer and those who like Turkey in October.
The former prefer the heat, an abundance of entertainment, endless animation and are ready to sunbathe side by side with other vacationers. The second taste is moderate warmth, peace and half-empty beaches.
Here are some of the pluses they write about in reviews of holidays in Turkey in October:
- the temperature of water and air equalizes at around + 25 ° C – this is comfortable weather for those who do not tolerate heat well, and for families with babies;
- acclimatization goes unnoticed – one or two days is enough for the child to adapt to the place of rest;
- there are few vacationers on the beaches – this is especially noticeable in the second half of October;
- housing prices are falling – you can relax in a high-class hotel at the price that you would have to pay for a lower-class hotel in summer;
- the weather is fine for excursions – when there is no heat, it is much more pleasant to walk around Istanbul or view the ruins of ancient cities;
- The markets are filled with fresh fruits – strawberries and pomegranates, apples and tangerines side by side on the shelves.
But still you have to carefully consider where to relax in Turkey in October. In the resorts of the Aegean Sea, good weather usually lasts only at the beginning of the month; on the Mediterranean coast, you can sunbathe and swim until the end of October. And here you need to be prepared for cold weather or rain – in such weather, many tourists go to museums or indoor entertainment centers.
Mid-autumn in Turkey is more suitable for those travelers who like to alternate between beach and sightseeing holidays.
Another minus of the October holidays is a relatively small amount of entertainment. There are often no “bananas” and jet skis on the beaches, many water parks close in early or mid-October, children’s attractions disappear from the embankments, and animation may not work in hotels.
Finally, there are fewer charter flights to resorts. Because of this, the price of the flight may increase.
Weather in Turkey in October
In autumn it’s time to put away summer clothes and shoes.
But you can put it all in a suitcase and fly after the summer to one of the resorts in Turkey. The weather in October-November is no longer as hot as in early autumn, but still generous with sun and warmth.
The weather is especially good at the beginning of October – the air and water temperatures are just right for a holiday with a child. At this time, rain is possible, but infrequent and short.
The chance of precipitation is higher in the second half of the month. The air temperature becomes unpredictable: sometimes it’s hot, sometimes it gets colder so that you don’t want to go to the beach.
The weather in Turkey at the end of October is more suitable for excursions than for seaside holidays. But even at this time, clear and warm days are possible – they can be spent on the beach. If you are going to Turkey in October with a child, take warm clothes for evening walks and in case of a sudden cold snap. Raincoats and waterproof shoes are also useful.
Air and water temperature
The warm climate of Turkey is appreciated by those who are not ready to put up with the cold rainy autumn. In October, real summer still reigns at the resorts of this country:
| Resort | Daily | Night | t water |
|---|---|---|---|
| Istanbul | +20.3°С | +17.2°С | +19.1°С |
| Antalya | +25.6°C | +18.1°С | +25.4°С |
| Alanya | +25.9°С | +25.6°C | +25.7°С |
| Side | +25.8°С | +18.4°С | +25.5°C |
| Marmaris | +24.8°С | +16.9°С | +24.0°С |

The air temperature in Turkey in October does not drop below +25°C for a long time during the day.
It gets a little cold only in the last decade of the month. The nights on the Mediterranean Sea are also quite warm, but on the Aegean Sea in the evenings it is already noticeably cool.
You can also enjoy the temperature of the water in Turkey. In October, the Mediterranean Sea slowly cools down from +27°С to +24°С, the Aegean – from +25°С to +23°С. Istanbul is more cool than warm, and the weather is far from always sunny. Usually the air temperature is kept within + 16-22 ° С.
Is it possible to swim
According to tourists, swimming in Turkey in October is a pleasure. The water remains warm for almost the entire month, and often the air and water temperatures are the same. The Mediterranean Sea in the middle of autumn is warmer than the Aegean, and the main places where people swim in October and even in November are the resorts of the Antalya coast.
Only high waves can interfere with swimming. In October, the sea often storms, sometimes red flags appear on the shore – they mean that you can’t swim.
Beach holiday
The apple has nowhere to fall – this is not about the beaches of Turkey in October. The weather allows you to spend days on the beach, and connoisseurs of the velvet season catch the sun on the shore, but there is plenty of free space at the edge of the sea. And if the child wants to build a row of sandals from the sun lounger to the horizon, he can do it.
Note that by mid-October, all water activities disappear from the beaches, coastal cafes close their work. But if you are relaxing with a baby or a preschooler, you will rather be pleased with the ensuing silence. However, we note that the rescue service also usually works only until the end of September.
At the same time, the child will most likely have a company for games – if schoolchildren have to bite into the curriculum in October, nothing prevents younger children from going to the sea with their parents.
Where to go in Turkey in October to bask by the sea? Here are a few resorts where autumn has not yet come into its own.
Antalya
The main Turkish resort in early October is as warm and almost as crowded as in summer. The air temperature throughout the month stays at +25-28°C during the day and +20-22°C at night, the weather is clear and calm, 3-4 rainy days usually fall in the second half of October.
The sea temperature in the first week of October is +27°C, and then gradually drops to +24°C.
Antalya has both pebbly and sandy beaches , the entrance to the water can be sharp or gentle – it is advisable to clarify before the trip which beach belongs to the hotel. You can soak up the sandy beaches in the Lara region, in the Konyaalti region, the coast is covered with small and medium pebbles.
Antalya is a very good resort for active tourists. The city has many attractions, there are museums, from here it is convenient to go to ancient cities or waterfalls.
A variety of entertainment awaits children: the Aqualand water park and the Aktur Park amusement park are open until mid-October, and the Sandland sand sculpture complex is open until November.
In mid-autumn, it is also interesting to visit Belek’s The Land of Legends theme park.

Alanya
Since the Gazipasa airport opened near Alanya, this resort has become even more popular among tourists with children. Its advantages are a long beach season, a good choice of inexpensive accommodation and a rich excursion and entertainment program.
In mid-autumn, the thermometers at the resort show +24-28°C during the day and +22-24°C at night. Only at the end of October it gets colder up to +20°C. The days are sunny, but rain is possible in the second half of the month. The sea temperature drops from +27°C to +24°C during the month. Waves often interfere with swimming, but if the sea is calm, it is very pleasant to swim.
Minus the beaches of Alanya – a rocky coast and a sharp entry into the water.
Sand covers Cleopatra’s beach within the city, as well as beaches in the surrounding villages of Konakli, Avsallar, Incekum. Although entertainment is gradually phasing out in October, the large Water Planet water park is open throughout the month. Sealanya Seapark is open until mid-October. Also with children you can walk around the old town, see the fortress and the Red Tower, visit the Damlatas cave, which is located right on the beach.

Side
The lively resort of Side calms down in October. Meanwhile, the weather here is wonderful: the air temperature ranges from +24°C to +28°C during the day and from +20°C to +22°C at night, the wind is weak, the sun is very gentle, and the water temperature slowly drops from +27 °С to +24°С.
The spacious sandy beaches of Side are one of the main advantages of this resort.
The entrance to the water is smooth, it is very shallow near the shore, so that the kids can swim at their pleasure. The beach of the village of Cholakly is considered ideal for relaxing with kids, but in October Side will also become a good place to relax (it is too crowded in summer).
The entertainment program at the resort is very modest, although from here it is easy to get to Alanya and Belek, where water parks continue to operate in autumn. But Side’s own attraction is the ruins of the ancient city, located right in the center of the resort. Also from here you can go on a tour of the ancient cities of Aspendos and Perge.

Marmaris
October on the Aegean Sea is not always generous with warmth, and it is advisable to choose a resort in this region of Turkey only if you are going to rest at the very beginning of the month.
The daytime air temperature in Marmaris at this time is + 22-27°C, at night it gets colder to + 16-20°C.
The sky is not often overcast, the rains usually begin in the second half of October. The sea temperature until mid-autumn stays within +24-25°C, but sometimes drops to +23°C.
The main advantage of Marmaris for beach lovers is the calm sea. The beach in the resort is sandy, the bottom is flat, covered with small pebbles.
In October, Marmaris is more suitable for a holiday with a baby, since the water parks are already closed, and only excursions can be offered to teenagers. One of the most unusual is a trip to the Turtle Beach in Dalyan, where large sea turtles live.

Fethiye
A tranquil resort at the junction of the Aegean and the Mediterranean will appeal to those who value privacy.
The weather in the first half of October is also sure to please. The air temperature almost never drops below +24-25°C during the day, although at night the thermometers slide down to +16°C. Gloomy days are rare, heavy rains are not to be feared.
The sea off the coast of Fethiye is warmer than in other Aegean resorts. In the first half of October, the water temperature is kept within +24-27°С.
The beaches of Fethiye are modestly equipped, but they are cleaned well. Moreover, travelers often go to wild beaches near the resort. The most picturesque places are the sandy beaches of Patara, Kabak, Paradise Beach.
Entertainment in Fethiye is not enough even in the high season, and rest in October can be devoted to excursions. The main attractions of these places are the Lycian rock tombs, the Blue Lagoon, the Butterfly Valley, the ancient cities of Patara and Xanthos. Cool autumn weather is good for traveling along the Lycian Way – a route laid through the territory of the ancient state.

Excursion rest
In July-August, the scorching sun is not the best accompaniment on excursions. But when the heat subsides with the onset of autumn, you can travel as much as you like to the ancient cities and natural attractions of Turkey.
October is the best time to visit the ruins of ancient Ephesus, Phaselis or Aspendos, the white travertine terraces of Pamukkale, the Upper and Lower Duden waterfalls, the Green Canyon. In Antalya, you can see the old city of Kaleici, in Alanya – a medieval Seljuk fortress, in Side – a huge ancient amphitheater, in Fethiye – Lycian tombs.
If you are much less interested in the sea than excursions, choose Istanbul as your holiday destination. With older students, you can visit the Hagia Sophia, and the Blue Mosque, and the Topkapi Palace, and the Basilica Cistern, and museums – archaeological, maritime, military, polytechnic.
Well, adults may wonder not only what to see in Istanbul, but also how to do it. One of the unusual ways is to enjoy the views of the city while having breakfast on the roof of the hotel. This service is provided by many hotels in Istanbul.
Also in October you can go on a boat trip along the Bosphorus or the Princes’ Islands, where there are many attractions. You just need to dress warmly, because a cold wind blows from the water.
Entertainment for children
Autumn in Turkey can be recognized not so much by the weather, but by the fact that every day there are less and less entertainment in the resorts. Is there a chance to diversify your leisure time in October? Fortunately, there is.
In Antalya with children, you can visit the Aqualand water park, the Aktur Park amusement park, the aquarium, the zoo. Until mid-November, the Sandland sand sculpture complex is open at the resort.
Kemer continues to operate “Dinopark”, in Belek – a delightful water park and amusement park The Land of Legends.
The best water park in Alanya Water Planet and Sealanya Seapark are also open.
If you are going to Istanbul with children, dilute the excursion program with a trip to the zoo, Isfanbul amusement park (former Vialand) and Miniaturk park, where you can see small copies of the main attractions of Turkey. In rainy weather, we recommend heading to the Sea Life Aquarium, Dolphinarium, Kidzania City of Professions or the snowy town of Snowpark.
Holidays, events and festivals
There are not so many holidays in Turkey as we are used to. But October is one of the most important dates in the history of the country. 29On October 1923, the Turkish constitution was amended: the Ottoman Empire ceased to exist, and Turkey was proclaimed a republic.
Every year on October 29, military parades and processions of schoolchildren are held in the country, and celebrities perform in the squares in the evening. The holiday ends with a massive fireworks display.
The birthday of the Prophet Mohammed may also fall in October – Mawlid al-Nabi . For tourists, this is an opportunity to see the solemn illumination in mosques and buy a sugar figurine of the “prophet’s bride” or a rider.
Various festivals can be added to the Turkish holidays in October. We recommend cinema lovers to visit the festival “Altyn-Portakal” in Antalya.
Those who love a variety of sports will enjoy the Sailing Race in Bodrum and Marmaris , Paragliding Festival in Oludeniz. Alanya in early October hosts culture and art festival .

Tours
Package holiday prices in Turkey are gradually decreasing. In October, a ready-made tour costs 10-20% cheaper than in September.
Meals
Judging by the reviews of vacations in Turkey in October, food costs may decrease due to the fact that cafes in tourist places are gradually closing in October, and there are many inexpensive and cozy places among local residents. For comparison, a meal in a coastal cafe can cost about 50 lira, and in a cafe away from the sea – up to 30 lira.
In autumn, markets abound with fruits and vegetables. Here is the estimated price for 1 kg: figs – 5 lira, early tangerines – 1.5-2.5 lira, apples – 2.5 lira, grapes – 4-5 lira, pomegranates – 3 lira; tomatoes – 1-4 liras, eggplants – 1.5 liras, cucumbers – 1.5-5 liras, peppers – 3 liras. Prices are usually higher in markets in tourist areas.

Shopping
October is a time of great sales in the Turkish markets: before the end of the season, sellers tend to sell more goods.
Prices can indeed be very pleasant, but it is important to carefully consider the goods so as not to buy something of low quality or fake.
Tourists often bring leather clothes and accessories, jewelry, home textiles, knitwear, copper pots, tea and coffee utensils from Turkey. If you are planning a solid purchase – for example, a fur coat, it is better to go to the store, because there are many fakes on the market of poor quality.

Tips for traveling with children
Holidays in Turkey in October with children have many advantages. But as the high season comes to an end, there are also some disadvantages – if you know about them and properly prepare, the trip will only bring joy.
- Although the days can be hot, in the evening it gets cold up to +17-18°С, and in the early morning it can reach +14-15°С. In your luggage, put not only a windbreaker, but also warm clothes. Prepare a light hat for the child.
- The weather in October is unpredictable, especially in the second half of the month. So that the children do not get bored in the room while it is raining, bring board games or an interesting children’s book with you.
- Many hotels are already closing animation programs and children’s clubs in October. Find out if animators will work at your holiday destination. Since it gets dark early in Turkey in autumn, the entertainment program at the hotel will definitely not be superfluous.
- It gets dark fastest in the mountains. Therefore, Antalya has a longer daylight hours than Fethiye.
- Hotels have been preparing for the new season since autumn. We recommend that you find out before booking when the hotel will begin renovations.
Prepare a light hat for the child. In order not to search the Internet for information about accommodation in resorts, use the Kid Passage family hotels collection. In each of the hotels in Turkey, selected by our site, you will find a full range of services for families with children and high quality service.
And in order to please you with beauties, Turkey will cope on its own.
October in Barcelona: what to be prepared for?
October may not be so good for a beach holiday, but this is one of the best periods to visit Barcelona. The feeling of the August sauna has already passed, the weather is quite warm (+21º on average), the city streets are beginning to be decorated with autumn foliage, and cafes and museums are not so crowded. Trouble can only be delivered by the changeable nature of the weather. The sky is increasingly overcast with clouds and real bad weather cannot be ruled out. Inclement weather is by no means uncommon in mid-autumn, but usually does not last more than 1-2 days in a row.
Weather conditions
October can be divided into two parts. The first is the end of the beach season, when the sun still heats the air up to +25..+27, and the water of the Mediterranean Sea – up to +21..+23. It is cooler in the evenings, the thermometer drops to +20, and for walks you have to wear something with long sleeves.
Rains for this period are not very characteristic, but they should not be completely excluded. Such weather persists in the first decade of the month.
And then autumn comes to the capital of Catalonia. More and more cloudy days, rainfall is more likely (especially since October is considered one of the rainiest months – here precipitation falls on average 5 days a year). Temperatures are also dropping. Now the air warms up to +18..+21 degrees, and the water in the sea – up to +18.
Average October weather by days for the last 7 years of observations
The beach season officially closes on October 15th.
What to take with you in your suitcase
Those who are going to Barcelona in early October should hardly worry about serious insulation. It is more likely that during the day you will be more comfortable in light trousers, a short skirt or breeches. In the evening, you will have to change into jeans and put on a light sweater. In case of bad weather, it makes sense to bring a light jacket and an umbrella with you (or buy one on the spot).
How tourists dress at the end of October
In the second half of the month it is better to bet on clothes that will cover bare spots on your body. Jeans, a jumper and a light jacket are quite suitable for walking around the city in the second half of October. Dresses are useful only in the presence of warm weather. Keep in mind that the weather during this time is very unstable, so you will need to be prepared for any weather scenario.
Warm clothes are definitely not needed. The worst thing you can expect at this time is a few rainy days in a row.
Prices for air tickets
The tourist season begins to end closer to the middle of the month, so the prices for air tickets start to fall. In terms of price, this is one of the best periods to travel to the capital of Catalonia.

For example, for the hourly temperature at 10am, we’ve looked at the temperature at 10am on every day in October (e.g., October 1, October 2, etc. in 2010, 2011, etc.) and took the arithmetic mean. We did not smooth the data, so for example, our daily temperature line will have some randomness due to the fact that weather is random in the first place.

However, these are the lower limits of temperatures – usually they are several degrees higher at this time.

Any of the resort area west of Barranco de Troya and Barranco del Rey is located in Costa Adeje, basically Veronicas marks the end of Playa de las Américas if walking east to west. It’s all explained here.
It never was the capital, but it was known as the commercial capital which is what confuses some people. Oh, and it’s Garachico not Garachio.
However, it’s located above the cliffs on the other side of the motorway, and quite some distance from, the traditional town of Santa Ursula; which is where you find a wide selection of shops, bars and restaurants… unlike La Quinta. When we first moved to Tenerife an estate agent described La Quinta as being like ‘Legoland’.
Some of these are found more in non-resort areas.
Carnival is linked to Lent which means it is a movable event and so the dates change every year. Subsequently it can take place in either February or March.
Paul Bennett (bar tender on deck 18 of SeaShore Ship) Very friendly and always pleasant. 
Beds were super comfortable – entertainment was brilliant – so many bars and things to do on board – It was a great experience. My only one critique is that the toilets are not sign posted well and it’s a big ship, other than that cannot fault a single thing. My travel companion said this was the best cruise ship he has been on. I am looking forward to cruising with MSC again. Thank you!!
We have attempted to contact and resolve many times. By phone we are told they cannot help and we have to email. We email and get a reply after 3 weeks fobbing us off each time. All we want is an equivalent cruise, but not getting anywhere. AVOID this company at all costs. ZERO customer service
Each time I email it takes at least 3 weeks to get a reply. The voucher (which I’ve never physically received) expires on the 31st December. I don’t hold out much hope it will get used so I’ll have to do a chargeback on my credit card and never use this company again. Ridiculously stressful
Cruise-prices are cheap but you definitely get what you pay for. The onboard experience is more of a Butlins/Benidorm theme with toddlers, kids, tweens and teens having run off the ship. Everything is based around families and children and unruly kids, often have unruly parents. The Virtuosa was an absolute nightmare to be in for 12 days. Never again! It was a truly awful experience from beginning to end.
I have cruised with them a few times but when things go wrong they don’t want to know and don’t respond to queries or questions. Last year the whole table got food poisoning from scallops- cared less said I should have gone to sick bay when I was throwing up during the night, This year I was wrongly tested for COVID taken from my cabin – to another part of ship no electric card and left for hours. Got retested and confirmed negative spend days at customer services looking for answers and apologies some people had to say on the ship for transatlantic passage and their spouses had to fly home alone. I’ve written numerous times – zero explanation was given. Definitely sail with any other company.
00 for alcohol package for 3 days rooms are hot spent more time paying for charges that was not ours took over 30 mins to get a drink same food everyday crew has attitudes pools are small took over 2 hours to get off ship on final day no one should ever cruise with this company cheap prices to get you on the ship then 700.00 for extra charges before you exit the ship
..it was booked in 10 minutes. MSC WAKE UP …IT IS NOT 1999 ANYMORE we expect better.
Before our vacation we called the cruise line to make sure we have everything we needed and they told him we only needed proof of a negative test for COVID, so we both brought our proof. When we got there they told us we needed to be vaccinated. I am vaccinated but I didn’t bring my proof since they told us we only needed the negative test of COVID, my boyfriend was not vaccinated so we couldn’t go in the cruise. After a few days we called to ask if we could get our money back sand we explained what happened, so they told us we will get our money back after one or 2 cycles but we never got anything.
From the 4 hour line to board to the 3 hour line to disembark, the waits were always extremely long. They were extremely disorganized and the processes for the ship didn’t make sense.The staff were only very helpful to the Yacht Club (basically first class) passengers while regular passengers were treated like second class. There was no variety of food and very poor preparation Never would I ever recommend MSC as a cruise line again. If I could give zero stars I would. Absolutely terrible…
The camp program is unique even for our line of camps “Junior Camp” – it is more active and involves moderate physical activity, while being filled with unforgettable impressions. This is a change of discoveries – the participants of the camp will be able to try themselves in the role of mountain travelers, surfers, photographers and even cooks. Perhaps one of these hobbies will become a pleasant hobby of our children for many years to come! 
The experts also calculated how much a family of four who planned a week-long vacation would have to part with. The total “check” included the cost of a week’s stay in a two-bedroom apartment in winter, car rental, food expenses and dinner at a restaurant with drinks.

These islands are hospitable to high-quality wines despite subtropical conditions. A high altitude helps preserve acidity; winds prevent moisture collection and lower bacteria and mold risk; and volcanic soil provides roots with drainage and adds striking salty and mineral attributes to the wines.
This method of growing and producing grapes on volcanic rock on the temperate island is remarkable for its ingenuity.
Sparkling wines and rosés, the grapes of which can be harvested at lower sugar levels, also do well—and, with great effort on the part of growers, more classic grape varieties such as pinot gris and pinot noir can also be grown.
Commercial vineyards were first planted on this island in 1865, though the industry collapsed soon after due mainly to a gold rush, experiencing renewed interest late in the 1970s.
The oldest winery on the island in continuous operation is Sella & Mosca, established in 1899 on the northwest coast of Sardinia.
Historically, this means the rest will be released in the early spring, around March or April.
A lot of cruise fans gobble up the most desirable cabins when new sailings hit the market, such as suites, extra large balcony rooms and other unique staterooms.
Children have returned to schools, there is no summer fuss and crowds at airports, and prices at resorts are much more affordable. 
After all, we have no doubt that in the autumn Europe will be opened to the Russians. 
The most intense gusts of wind will affect the northern and western slopes of the islands.
