The Greek island of Corfu is a popular holiday destination with travellers from across the globe, and October is a great time to plan a visit. The old town of Corfu has been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to some truly magnificent architecture from the Baroque, Classical, and Renaissance periods. If you're more of an adventure-seeker, there are plenty of opportunities for exciting watersport activities too, such as shipwreck diving and whitewater rafting.
Rhodes is the largest of the Greek Dodecanese islands and makes for a fantastic October getaway. Daytime temperatures sit around a comfortable 21°C, and Rhodes in October still sees a remarkable 8 hours of sunshine a day, so don't forget to pack the sunscreen. Average sea temperatures are still a toasty average of 22°C, perfect for a dip!
The largest island in Greece, Crete makes for a wonderfully relaxing getaway during the autumn months. Temperatures in Crete remain reasonably consistent all year round, meaning October is still pleasantly warm, sitting at a daytime average of 23°C. Rainfall in Crete is rare during October, and beach clubs, restaurants, and visitor attractions still remain open after the busy summer season has passed.
