greek islands last week in october plus

hi
does any company do holidays to the greek islands last week october, first week in november or have they all shut up shop for the season? (not cyprus)

ManAtHome

"Package Greece" tends to close mid-October - no problem with Athens all year round, but likely to be just the major towns on the islands (via ferry). Try googling various islands and "November" - could be a bit of an adventure....

Corfu closes their airport in October, some of the other islands may do the same as well so like ManAtHome said you need to get a ferry to the islands.

Greece, like Britain, starts to get cold from September as well so pack your thermals.

crete is your best option, then rhodes i believe.
crete is almost becoming year round as they look to introduce a ski programme their. try www.olympicholidays.co.uk as they start holidays in april(about a month before the others) we have been last week in oct to both and been in the sea- just depends on your luck

ManAtHome

Would also add Kos and Lesvos to Deva's list (only 'cos I prefer them both to Rhodes). Obviously this year has been very weird weather, so it's all a bit luck of the draw really.

BIG TIP - don't try googling Lesbos...
