October Half Term Suggestions Anyone?

**curlywurly**

Departing any time between 15 (evening) and 24 October, for 7 or 10 days. Must return on or before 31 October. Somewhere warm and relaxing. Nightlife not necessary. Thought of Sharm El Sheikh but worried about hygiene issues. Preferably short-haul. Likely all inclusive. Two adults one child. Ideally fly from Luton, but any London airport OK. Any ideas gratefully received! Thank you.

The main areas for the weather are

Cyprus

Turkey

Tunisia

Canary Islands

Morocco

Crete

Egypt

It depends on your budget really, there are some lovely hotels with excellent reviews for hygine and food on trip advisor, it depends on how much you have to spend too

Thanks for that Del. I am willing to pay up to £2k. But that would have to be fully all-inclusive, 5 star, with bells on and excellent tripadvisor reviews. My preference would be around the £1400-1500 area.

Demand is likely to get in the way of great AI for £1400, so don't get your hopes up.

You may be lucky, your half term week seems to be less popular than the last week in October.

2 week half term ?? not a state school , flying from Luton , guessing a private school ( wonder if I could guess which one.)

Check out Turkey , went to Lara Beach back in July ( we also get longer/earlier hols) was mega expensive then , but prices dive in Oct.

but worried about hygiene issues

No worries in 5* Turkey.

does 5 star mean you can put your toilet paper down the toilet?
