    Have a think about Costa del Sol.
    Me and OH went to Benalmadena at the end of Oct, start of November last year. The weather was great approx. 25 degrees, nearly every day but cooled down a bit on a night.
    Malaga airport takes all cheap airlines you can think off so should be able to grab a bargain and there is a lot of resorts you can choose from all the way down the coast.

    We have a special family celebration in October and looking for somewhere still warm during the school half term October holiday.

    Thought of Cyprus but don't want to fly much further than 4 hours.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks. Maisie

    I recommend Gran Canaria!

    Flights are more expensive at school holiday times.

    We were in Cyprus from 1 - 10 October last year and the weather was glorious every day, dont think we even saw a cloud.
    Have also been to Tenerife at this time of year and although warm, was a little more overcast.
    Ibiza and Majorca are still warm at this time of year but much more hit and miss, you may get some rain at this time and its cooler at night.

    I was in Majorca once in October & it was terrible, would never chance it again. Ruined holiday.

    Maisie,

    With most of the main tour operators’ joining together the competition has started to disappear and this will drive up prices. We all know they will still have there bargain basement holidays to offer, but as we hand over our hard earned cash what are we getting in return? With the growth of low cost flights and the greater use of the internet, families have started to book their own holidays.
    Ok it may not be as easy as walking down the high street but in the end you will end up with a holiday of your choice and not the tour operator.

    With more people looking to purchase a holiday home in the sun, they will be looking to make a return on there purchase while they are not using it. This gives you as a holiday maker an advantage of a quality holidays without the mark up of the tour operator.

    I started to take advantage a few years ago when I was introduced bye a colleague at work and I have had great holidays ever since, from villas to hotels I have stayed in them all. Last year we went as a group to Gran Canaria. We stopped in a resort called the Gelimar in Puerto Rico. We hope next year to meet up again with our friend there, we were lucky enough to get a 2 bedroom at a very cheap price.
    Have a go for yourself. Save money & have a great holiday,
    I will add the link I used it may help you get started.
    Good Luck.
