Not sure where to go for a vacation in October? Despite the fact that summer is over, anyone on a well-deserved vacation will be able to find enough interesting places to relax during this time of year.
Where can you go on vacation in October?
Very few people “voluntarily” choose rainy October to spend their long-awaited vacation. If you are the “lucky one”, do not be upset - the main thing is to choose the “right” resort so as not to overshadow your vacation with unfavorable weather conditions.
The middle of autumn can please travelers with interesting events, which means that everyone can take part in the celebration of the national wine day in Moldova, the herring festival in Finland, the international fireworks festival in Seoul, the chocolate festival in Perugia, Italy, as well as visit the camel race in the UAE (Race -el-Khaimah).
October vacation at sea
Going to Egypt? Starting in October, the sun becomes less intense there than in summer, and in general, pleasant weather prevails in Egyptian resorts (the air warms up to + 30˚C and higher, and the water - up to + 27-28˚C).
In the first decade of October, you can go to Tunisia: on the island of Djerba, the water temperature warms up to + 25˚C, and in the central resorts of the Mediterranean coast to + 23-24˚C. It is worth considering that in the morning the water can invigorate, in contrast to the daytime bathing. But in any case, you shouldn't go far from the coast (it's pretty chilly there). Do you want fun and discos? Place your bet on Sousse. Are you looking for peace and tranquility? Go to Monastir or Mahdia.
Those who decide to go to Thai Phuket in October will be delighted with the warm air: in the morning the thermometer shows + 27˚C, at lunchtime + 30-32˚C, and by the evening the air cools down to + 25˚C. It is better to come to Phuket in the second decade of the month, when the sea “calms down” a little, while cloudy weather and stormy sea are not uncommon in early October. Of the Phuket beaches, the following are of interest:
- Patong: this beach will appeal to young and active holidaymakers. In addition to discos and famous nightclubs, Patong is famous for its developed sex industry (there are strip clubs and massage parlors).
- Laem Sing: Since this 150-meter beach is "locked" between the rocks, the descent to it is carried out by stairs. NaLaemSing has umbrellas, restaurants and several souvenir shops. The beach has conditions for wakeboarding, glass bottom boat and water skiing, diving and snorkelling (for snorkeling, the left side of the beach is suitable, closer to the rocks with a variety of fish huddling next to them, and away from boats).
If you are a kiter or surfer, you should take a closer look at such spots as Surin, Nai Harn, Nai Yang and others.
Tours in Europe in October
October is a great time for excursion routes in the cities of southern and northern Italy, as well as France and Spain.
At the beginning of the second month of autumn, you can go to Venice, when daily rates are around + 20˚C, while at the end of October they barely exceed + 10˚C. First of all, it is recommended to look at the city from the 100-meter height of the bell tower of St. Mark's Cathedral. Those interested in flying around Venice can book a 10-minute helicopter tour from Nicelli Airport on Lido Island. You can also admire the city from the water - from a gondola (the most financially expensive way) or traghetto (the most economical option). Then you should definitely join the sightseeing tour - it will allow you to stroll around St. Mark's Square, see the Doge's Palace, the Rialto Bridge, Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo, Marco Polo's house and other sights. Well, on the 1st Sunday of October, tourists will have a chance to take part in the celebration of the wine festival (Sant'Erasmo island).
The second month of autumn is ideal for hiking in the mountains in the Zell am See region and exploring Salzburg, which is famous for the Leopoldskron (Rococo style) and Helbrunn (early Baroque style) castles. Tours to the salt mines and to the filming locations of the film "World of Music" are organized for those who wish (the tour is carried out on a bus with the symbols of the film). Until the end of October, you will be able to visit the Eisriesenwelt Ice Cave.
Holidays in Russia in October
October vacation can be devoted to exploring the sights of Moscow and St. Petersburg. And the variety of rooms will save you money, especially if you opt for inexpensive hostels. With the benefit of the vacation budget, it will be possible to purchase air tickets - this is possible due to the fact that domestic flights are subsidized.
If you wish, you can go on a fascinating journey through the ancient Russian cities, having drawn up a trip map in advance, from which you will be able to bring a lot of souvenirs. So, Vladimir, Suzdal, Kostroma, Sergiev-Posad and others deserve attention.
Do you want to relax with health benefits? Go to the resorts of the Caucasus - this Russian region provides its guests with a healing climate, picturesque landscapes and spa facilities.
