Autumn holiday

[Bifta]

I'm looking to get away somewhere for a week before the end of October, somewhere sunny, warm and not overly expensive. Anyone have any recommendations?

The last week of October is 1/2 term for alot of kids... so it will be more expensive then.

As for where to go - The Canaries.

[Bifta]

I'd pretty much narrowed it down to the Canaries, just not sure where exactly.

Gran Canaria .... very nice

I dont know about it not being expensive anymore, the g/f and myself were there begining of the year, March ish, managed to spend £900.00 in a week between us, not including the price of the holiday but we are looking to do the same thing, a week away at the end of the month somewhere ??

Looking at all inclusive this time though.

EDIT: just had a look at the temps for Tenerife for today Highs of 28 and lows of 22 link Virgin weather nice and warm

Anywhere in Greece but preferably the more southern islands, great weather, cheap food.
Shouldn't have to pay out more than £800 for the two of you all in (including food)

Portugal (algarve)? Went there for christmas 2002 and spent christmas day out in the sun walking the beaches etc. So i assume that it would be warmer 2 months earlier

Went there 2 years ago September, lashed it down from the moment we got there to the moment we left with a 1 hour break one afternoon, didn't bother us that much though.............. we were on a stag 5 days so all we wanted to see were the bars on ' the strip '

Did you mean "The bars AND the strip"

Thanks for all your help, just waiting for it to dawn on the doll from Going Places what the telephone looks like so she can actually call me back.

Well you know, whats one without the other

We have had a few very cheap holidays at that time of year from the Mytravel auction site http://www.uk.mytravel.com . Go to the site and, click on auctions and have a search around. Best value we had was 7 days in the Canaries which cost us £42 for the two of us (£21 each) including flights, transfers and SC accomodation which was excellent. These days though you have to add on transfers, in flight meals, tickets on demand and credit card charges which can add up to a fair amount.

I've used www.lastminute.com a couple of times and its always been a success in terms of price and a good holiday.

www.latedeals.com are great too.

If it is the Canaries you're decided on, I've been to five of them, and Lanzarote is the best. Playa Blanca is beautiful
