Walking along the promenade of Barcelona

If you have no idea where to go to the sea in October 2021, choose from the suggested ones - you will be able to swim (but at certain resorts, so read on ↓).

Turkey

We went to Kemer on our own for 1 day from Side

You can make an early booking, or you can wait for "flaming" vouchers - they will definitely be to Turkey, as well as to Greece. Let's compare which is better?

Holidays in October abroad on all inclusive are still good in Turkey. Fewer people, more food and sunbeds; the sun does not burn, but warms; excursions are cheap and relaxed. Minus, judging by the reviews - early sunset, from 18:00 they promise darkness.

We recommend spending your beach vacation in October on the Mediterranean coast (it's already "winter" in the Aegean). Even at the end of October, the water temperature is kept at + 24 ° C. In the air - from + 22 ° C to + 26 ° C. The weather is wonderful, but it is worth remembering that intermittent rains are possible in the second half.

Where is better? Sandy beaches with a gentle entrance - in Alanya and Side. Kemer is small-pebbled, but very green and mountainous, like Fethiye. Antalya is a resort city for noisy companies; Belek is a concentration of expensive and quality hotels.

• Prices for holidays in Turkey in October 2021 are all inclusive - from 35,000 rubles for two per week (departure from Moscow).

During a vacation in May 2019, a video was recorded about the resorts of Turkey. Click if you are not sure 🙂

Tunisia

Where to go to the sea in October without a visa and inexpensively? Tunisia - this is in case you are fed up with Turkey, but you need warm water and "all inclusive". However, you still have to accept a more modest buffet.

Tunisia in October outperforms all Mediterranean countries due to its location in Africa. The average temperature of the sea and air throughout the month is around + 25 ° C. Rains are rare but can get stormy after the 20's. More comfortable in terms of the weather - on the island of Djerba, and cheaper - in Sousse and Monastir; Mahdia and Hammamet have perfect beaches.

Relaxing on the sand in Tunisia is good, but even cooler is to travel to historical and natural attractions, which is impossible in summer because of the heat. And don't think to come from there without visiting the Sahara: October is the most suitable month for a trip to the desert (with an obscenely discounted price tag).

• All inclusive packages to Tunisia for October cost from 50,000 rubles for two for 7 days.

Greece

Our trip to Rhodes (follow the link - all the most useful)

A variety of holidays in Greece in October, so that prices for every taste, entertainment, and beaches - in Crete and Rhodes. Ideally, finish your vacation by the middle of the month, otherwise you might get wet.

At the beginning of October, the water temperature is around + 23 ° C, it will go swimming; outside the sun heats up to + 25 ° C. It rains at the end.

Both islands are a treasure trove of Greek history and soul, with a landmark hiding at every kilometer. Therefore, be sure to combine a beach holiday in October in Greece with a survey of the territory - a car is the best option here (book in advance on Myrentacar). Although the prices for excursions are reduced to the limit, people are not recruited everywhere.

Crete has a wider choice of resorts: partying Malia and Hersonissos, romantic Chania and Rethymnon, cozy and homey Agia Nikolaos and Bali - especially in the off-season, when the already sincere locals are not busy with tourists 🙂 In Rhodes, give preference to the east coast - Faliraki, Lindos, the city of Rhodes itself.

• In Greece, in October, an inexpensive beach vacation - from 40,000 rubles for a 7-day trip for two people.

Cyprus

Where to go in October 2021 by the sea without weather surprises? Ours - to Cyprus. They love this island for the opportunity to fly abroad without a visa (issued in 1-2 days). At the same time, you get European service, the cleanest beaches and an excellent climate.

The sea water is warmer than in Spain or Greece - everything is + 25 ° C, and it is hot here 330 days a year (in October, the air temperature is + 27 ° C). Locals claim to swim until December! The rains begin in mid-November: in autumn the weather is comfortable at sea and on land.

Vacation resorts: Ayia Napa, Protaras, Limassol (classic beach), Paphos (look for the wide Coral Bay beach, which is occupied by tourists during the season), Polis (wooded national parks).

• Prices for holidays in Cyprus - from 42,000 rubles for two for 7 nights. All inclusive - from 75,000 (departure from Moscow).

UAE

Our trip to Dubai (follow the link - a bunch of useful things)

Another country where you can go in the fall for summer weather is the United Arab Emirates. In a ridiculous time frame, she transformed herself from a desert into a precious sparkling resort, a center for the arts and the most daring incarnations of human thought.

Snowboarding in the desert, the world's largest theme park and aquarium, a ski resort, its own Louvre, mountains and a rare honey, and the hotels here are like separate states: they have everything, and each is unique.

Any emirate at the end of October will be even more pleasant in terms of the weather: the air temperature will drop to + 33 ° C, and the water temperature - to + 31 ° C. The greenest "beach" emirates are Ras al-Khaimah, Fujairah and Sharjah. Reviews agree that Fujairah is cooler, and for the UAE, this is a plus.

• Rest at sea in October in the UAE will be released at least 60,000 rubles (tour for 7 days for two).

Where else to relax at sea in October?

Walking through the old city in Jerusalem

We finished about inexpensively in October, but there are still options for trips to the sun. The fish, as they say, is looking for where it is deeper, and a person where it is better - in reviews of popular countries for beach holidays, new directions are constantly noted.

Catch a short (as you could) cheat sheet about additional resorts, where not only you can, but also need to swim in the sea in October - it is straight fresh milk!

Israel

In the 2021st September-October in Israel will be festive.From September 20 to September 27, the locals celebrate Sukkot - they build huts in their yard / by the road / anywhere and periodically spend time there. Communicate, eat, sleep - all to commemorate the wandering of the Jews.

Israel guarantees a beach holiday in October - the season is hot enough. The only thing to think about is the price. Tours are not the cheapest, but acceptable (more on that below). Air tickets (if the excursion is in the first place, it's easier to go on your own) track in advance - there are a lot of sales.

The average air temperature on the Mediterranean coast is + 27 ° C, the water temperature is + 26 ° C. In Tel Aviv, there is no particular decrease in tourists (+ we, 4 tourists arriving in the middle of the month :)), for a quiet holiday at the sea, consider the nearby resorts - Ashkelon or Ashdod. The beaches are equipped, it is possible with children; developed transport system - all the Israeli treasures of UNESCO are available.

Dead Sea / Waterfront and drinking fountains in Tel Aviv

An interesting option is the Jerusalem area, calmly visit Bethlehem and sunbathe at the Dead Sea (it is good everywhere in Israel in October, but here + 30 ° C) - heal both the soul and the body. In addition, the weather in the interior of Israel allows you to enjoy walks.

We went to Israel in October. We bought in Tel Aviv (it was hot), lived in Jerusalem (and here it is cooler), looked at Bethlehem and the Dead Sea. We searched for tickets on Aviasales - they cost 11,000 rubles round trip per person from Moscow; accommodation was booked on Airbnb - in a cozy apartment in TA and Jerusalem for 7,000 rubles / night for four. It's great in Israel!

Eilat in October

For a traditional beach holiday in Israel - in Eilat. There are also a lot of people, but the sea (which is Red) is beautiful and with a varied underwater world! The beaches here are often pebbly, under water - sand.

The advantage of Eilat is that it is located on the sea, which, unlike the Mediterranean, is calm like a boa constrictor - you can swim and dive and wallow in the water without being washed up by a huge wave to the shore.

• Prices for tours to Israel in October (to Eilat) - from 85,000 rubles for two for 7 nights.

Spain

Ice cream in Barcelona and us, if you look closely at the photo on the right 🙂

Sea holidays in Europe take place, especially in October, and especially on a budget. One of the most affordable options is the Catalan coast. Painfully profitable charters fly to Barcelona (how do you like a round-trip ticket for 8,000?), And a Spanish visa is the most acceptable of the entire Schengen family for 2020.

But! The concept of "warm sea", whatever one may say, is applicable to the peak of the tourist season - in summer. In the midst of autumn, the water temperature is about + 23 ° C, the air sometimes heats up to + 26 ° C - and all this is only about the resorts of the Costa Blanca (Alicante and Benidorm) and Mallorca. In early October, it is less windy and rainy (compared to the already cool Costa Brava and Costa Dorada).

On the question of where it is better to relax, if the plans are for the whole month: Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura - in a word, the Canary Islands. Awesome nature, and + 24 ° C for swimming sounds more pleasant.

• Spain in October for a week - from 55,000 rubles for 2 people. Beach holidays on the islands - from 60,000.

Lloret de Mar

My 7 days trip to Lloret de Mar

Before being indignant - why is this about Lloret de Mar, if the Costa Brava is off-season? - just read that tours in October to the resort can be caught for 20,000 rubles FOR TWO (if you wait until the last). Yes, with a visa, but even with it, the costs are low.

Life is not dying out yet, but there is no more bustle, there are picturesque bays and comfortable wide beaches. Where, as the reviews say, swim, but "walruses". Don't hang out or swim? Then - Barcelona is an hour away by bus. If you are light on your feet (and have a visa), be sure to include Lloret in your plans for a spontaneous vacation in 2020!

Malta

We took such a red car in Malta

Malta would not be in this text - well, because is this a beach destination at first glance? Also in the fall. But in October 2019, I went to the island, as nothing was found cheaper. And, you know, a real European beach holiday came out. And besides, inexpensive :)

In Malta in October we swam - in fairness I will say that the water is not the warmest, + 23 ° C ... + 24 ° C - and walked all day, and rented a car, traveled all over the island, and ate deliciously. We got wet in the rain a couple of times, but not critical.

I liked that:

• There were few tourists, after all, the end of the season
• The weather is wonderful, you won't get burned at noon
• Flights can be found cheap, as well as accommodation (it is more profitable to travel to Malta on your own)
• There are many places to “see” on the island, plus, there are also neighboring islands in stock
• Everyone knows English :)

Thailand

Krabi province is the most beautiful place in Thailand, in our opinion

Everyone is accustomed to flying to Asia in winter, unreasonably referring to the rainy season. Remember: watering from May to November, respectively, in October gradually declines.

Attempts to swim in October will be crowned with mixed success in Phuket, Krabi and Pattaya. Variable success means that it can be hot before lunchtime, then a tropical downpour will charge for an hour or two, and then the sun again. The water after such a change in weather is unclear, and there may be jellyfish, but it is really warm - + 29 ° C. The average air temperature is also + 29 ° C.

In general, if you really need a vacation in Thailand in October, as they say, there is no time to explain - look at the prices and fly! Nothing terrible will happen, it will just be wet and unusual for the absence of tourists.

• The cost of tours to Tai - from 70,000 rubles for 10 days by the sea for two.

Vietnam

Things are much better with a trip to Vietnam in October - however, you will still have to guess with part of the country. In the south, advise: Phu Quoc Island (authentic, picturesque and still wild), Phan Rang (very quiet place - for lovers of star-pose on the beach), Mui Ne (more active and fun).

The pluses of these directions are calmer than in Tae; sea ​​- the same + 29 ° C. Try to choose a time closer to the end of the month and not look to the north, despite reviews of the rest: in October the weather can be warm, but typhoons are unexpected guys and prefer to move from the Philippines to the north of the country.

• A 10-day trip to Vietnam at this time of the year costs from 90,000 rubles for two.

Crimea, Sochi, Anapa

Black Sea and the rise to Rosa Khutor

Russian locations can also compete with visa-free countries. If in summer it is more profitable to fly abroad, then in autumn travel to our resorts is no less interesting.

In Sochi and Adler, the water until October 15 is still up to + 21 ° C ... + 23 ° C; at the end it drops to + 17 ° C. It's + 20 ° C outside, and it's generally pleasant to walk. Boxwood groves, tea plantations, bungee gorges, modern parks and Olympic venues, yacht promenades. Sochi is a picturesque subtropical value in Russia.

Look for the views of the southern European coast in Crimea (for example, in Yalta): wild atmospheric villages, canyons, historical monuments, sandy beaches of the Azov Sea and pebbly Black ones. In Crimea, in October, the sea is unacceptable: + 18 ° C ... + 20 ° C. The regions of Yalta and Feodosia are the most comfortable in terms of the weather.

Another resort where you can go inexpensively without leaving Russia is Anapa. The main difference from the first two characters is the long sandy beaches. But alas, this is clearly not a place where a beach holiday in October will be the first priority. The average sea temperature is + 16 ° C.

• Tours to the Russian coast start at 30,000 rubles per week in October for two.
