If you are the type of holidaymaker who likes touring and seeing historic and cultural sites, then Cyprus in October will spoil you. Embark on a journey down the Aphrodite Nature Trail, stopping off at Aphrodite’s Rock and the remnants of the temple devoted to Aphrodite herself, without the usual noise and bustle of enormous crowds you’d encounter in the height of summer. October is also a great time to visit Cyprus since you have the weather just warm enough, but not too hot and you can get around comfortably and effortlessly.

Budapest
With an average temperature of 19°C and 10 hours of sunshine a day, the Hungarian capital is the perfect destination for an autumn city trip. The average cost of a weekend break in Budapest is also remarkably affordable, with the average cost per person for a weekend coming in at £60 and with cheap flights to Budapest the city dubbed ‘the Paris of the East’ is well worth visiting.
If the weather in Budapest happens to turn (Mother Nature is unpredictable, after all) then think about warming up and taking a dip in one of the many Thermal Baths. Thermal water and spa culture is well known in Hungary. Budapest’s thermal water is roughly 75°C and rich in calcium, magnesium and hydrogen carbonate which helps reduce joint discomfort and improves circulation.
