Strangely, Greece is not a winter sun destination,lots of resorts close down at the end of September so be careful you don't end up somewhere which is almost deserted!!

DIY will make your money go a lot further. Try ownersdirect for apartments and also holidaylettings. In addition to Turkey have you considered Bulgaria?

TBH I think a package at a good price can be just as cheap as DIY.

Much of Spain & the Balerics won't be that warm in October (could be wet). The Costa Del Sol will be warm but is the more expensive part.

Thats why I suggested Turkey, because of the Euro & the decent weather for a short haul location.

Olu Deniz area is fab (& warm).

The Bodrum peninsular has nice parts.

My vote for a first timer is Olu though.

Look at AI its really cheap in Turkey. But if you go AI go for a decent one & then you know you will get your moneys worth.

Look at Portland Direct, look at the Beleziki (SP???) Beach Hotel in Olu & The Olu Deniz Resort Hotel & Lykia World.

Sorry:o All Inclusive

If you get an AI for a similar price to SC, B&B or HB then you don't mind if its crappy & you eat out because you haven't paid anymore anyway.

BUT if you have paid extra, make sure its a good one.

Type the hotel name & resort into google & hit search, loads of reviews will come up.

Try to avoid half term week, more money & more busy.
