October Romantic Short Break

[Kevinspicey]

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some inspo for a romantic/couples short break for early October.

I have dreams of waking up somewhere warm, drinking coffee on the patio, maybe swimming (if its warm enough), lazy strolls through the town/city. Relaxed vibes, opportunities for some exploring in nature but also nice restaurants and cafes.

I have considered Sicily and Croatia so far but very open to suggestions. We recently visited Seville so that is a no for now.

Sicily definitely! Cefalu, small very pretty town with a nice beach a short train ride from Palermo so you can go see the sights there if you like (and handy for airport!)

@Iwasonholidayonce thank you! The flights seem to be extremely reasonably priced at that time of year and I think we will hire a car to do some exploring with ease if we do choose sicily

Crete is still mild at that time of year and Chania has a lovely romantic old town. From there you could explore Samaria Gorge, Elafonissi Beach and Balos lagoon.

@Forgottenmyphone thank you so much I will check it out!

We went to Ortigia and Taormina end of September last year and it was fabulous. Glorious weather. Had a day on the beach. We went to Monopoli in Puglia in May and i would also highly recommend that.

@MissAmbrosia these look so pretty, also really happy to hear that the weather was good at that time of year!
