Ideas short family break in Oct half term

[Indecisivelurcher]

Just after some ideas for a good destination for a short break in Oct? Train or short haul flight. Doesn't have to be roasting hot but likely to be dry, please. Ideally some sightseeing, history and culture, nice food, and kids would love a pool or beach although we wouldn't sit all day. They're 11 & 8. Never been away in Oct!

Pompei. Fly into Naples. You’re got the ruins and Herculaneum and Vesuvius not far away. We stayed in a house without a pool but there’s bound to be hotels with pools.

It’s a great time for Pompeii and the surrounding area.

Athens is another good shout. Seville? Rome?

Ah thanks for the suggestion! DH and I actually did that as our honeymoon, many years ago.

Malaga. There’s loads to do in the city, it’s clean, very safe and has some great day trips - Alhambra, Caminito del Rey, Ronda, Nerja caves..

Pompeii etc is a great idea. Weather should be good still in Seville. Sicily?
