When it all gets pretty gloomy in Britain, remember, October is still glorious in southern Europe.
The beaches, restaurants, towns and sites in southern Italy and Greece are refreshingly less busy than the bustling summer months and crucially the weather remains perfect for al fresco dining, swimming in the sea or lounging by the pool. Bliss.

We’d like to suggest The Thinking Traveller’s villas in Puglia or Sicily, or the Ionian Islands in Greece for some October half term sun.
For small groups or large, there are properties with pools, mountain views, gardens or beach access – as well as a range of services – from cooks to chauffeurs, and Think Experiences to make every stay unforgettable.
