I'm going to Germany by myself for a week in early October. It depends who's going and what they like though.

We go to a quiet spot in southern Spain for a month, mid Sept to mid Oct most years. We used to stay a little longer but always found the weather tailed off around half term before it picked back up in November.

I wouldn’t book long haul until there’s some certainty about the Iran war ending.

PinterandPirandello · 20/03/2026 15:20

Most places in Europe will still be warm. I like Greece at that time of year. Peloponnese. Or Turkey.

MissyB1 · 20/03/2026 15:21

I would go to Crete at that time of year, temperature should be right for exploring and walking without getting heatstroke!

SissySpacekAteMyHamster · 20/03/2026 15:22

Crete is lovely then.

Shinyhappyapple · 20/03/2026 17:44

We will be going to Sorrento early October this year.

HalfasleepChrisintheMorning · 20/03/2026 17:55

Crete

ResponsiblePopcorn · 20/03/2026 21:47

Crete. Chania region.

ResponsiblePopcorn · 20/03/2026 21:51

Or possibly with the war I'd fly into Malaga and stay in a hilltop village. I'd spend my days hiking and cycling on an e bike. I'd also spend a few nights in Ronda.

nomoretwisters · 21/03/2026 05:35

Depends if you have children or not. what type of holiday do you like? We have always gone to Crypus for the heat / Dubai but maybe not now …..

curious79 · 21/03/2026 05:40

Japan - perfect weather there at that point

Chubbawubber · 21/03/2026 07:37

Japan,China, Tanzania - you could see the migration in the north and head to Zanzibar for some RnR afterwards.

NancyJoan · 21/03/2026 07:39

Nice, or Palma.

WheretheFishesareFrightening · 21/03/2026 07:40

New England, California or Las Vegas.
