I want to abroad, beach holiday, in October. Not too costly. There’ll be me and two guys - separate bedrooms (  ) - flying from near London.
Would prefer a self catering villa set up to hotel all in. I was initially thinking Paxos/Greek islands - but think Paxos may be too pricey. I’d been there years ago in Lakka and loved it.
Please let me know any serious recommendations. Or tips for where to look/who to use.

"Just here to see the advice as I really want away this year or early next year. A Change of scenery is needed  "
I’ve never been the one organising the holiday before so have no idea what I’m doing! |

Egypt is very cheap. Last November I took my daughter to sharks bay it was 20 Euro per night and beautiful , we had little Bedouin huts on the beach , coral reefs a few meters away, sea was warm. You need to fly to Sharm though , then hire a car |

Im off to Portugal mid October, weather is still pretty warm
Staying in a two bedroom two story villa on a complex of eight villas
A little off the beaten track
Portugal could be a good option for you OP |

Balearics are lovely at that time of year, they're winding down so everything is a bit less frantic. It's not a popular option but look at travel agents especially the independents. There are a couple near here who often have adverts in their window of holidays that seem relatively cost effective. |

"Kenya is a good option as it’s tropical. Head to Diani Beach or Watamu/Malindi and it’s not far from Tsavo if you want to do the whole looking at animals thing "
I suspect this will be far too expensive for me! |

Porto - though beaches are a bus ride away. Get on the train and soak up the culture & history in Braga, Guimaraes & Coimbra. The old town is just lovely, though seen through the misty eyes of the port warehouse tours, most things seem great
Sitges - great vibe, great beaches, 30-45 mins to Barcelona for city vibes
Lake Como, Cernobbio or Como - sit and soak in the views, eat great food, drink great wine, people watch, train to Milan if you need some city life
I haven't been personally, but a few friends are bigging Sicily up at the minute too |

Albania is amazing and weather good in October still. I have travelled the world and my wife and I have been constantly traveling for this last year. We were in Thailand three months before coming here and can honestly say it is better. Great people, officially the safest country in Europe, amazing beaches and towns. You cannot find many countries cheaper than Albania. Message me if you want to know more. |
