OK, trying to find a cheap package somewhere for later in the year, sometime between mid October and late November! It's for two girls, we just want somewhere quiet (no Ibiza/Ayia Napa-style places) and sunny- at that time of the year, what places are warm and do you know of any cheap travel agents/companies that do good deals from Belfast/Dublin?

Thanks in advance.

    I've booked to go to mainland Spain in October with https://www.sunshine.co.uk, they use the likes of Easyjet or Jet2 for flights and book accommodation and transfers for you, I thought their prices were first class. Just research the suggested hotels closely using Trip Adviser and Holiday Watchdog.

    You will prob find Oct cheaper, as there will be less choice in Nov.

    If you want Sunny that late you need Canaries, southern Turkey, Cyprus (NOT cheap), Egypt, Crete, Costa Del Sol (not very cheap).

    Look at Turkey, if you want value, if you can spend a bit more Egypt won't just be sunny, it will have the best weather.

    All the UK ones will fly from Belfast I'm sure.

    There was a firm in the south of Ireland called Direct holidays or Budget holidays or something like that, who were about the cheapest.

    If you stated your budget & preferences (board ect) people could offer you some advice.

    At that time of year most resorts would be quiet anyway.

    I am a fan of the Canaries so would recommend considering one of them.

    Any idea of budget per person?

    Now for October value I would say Turkey or better still Egypt.

    Turkey being warm & cheap

    Egypt being hot & good value for money.
