Cheap Holidays to Greece in October

Resort coasts on the mainland and islands keep their lower October rates while still offering reliable beach weather.

• Faliraki: Looking for good-value sun in October? Kassiopi, on the north-east coast of the island, is a charming fishing village with a sheltered harbour, tavernas serving fresh seafood, and easy access to quiet pebble coves. Autumn brings warm, settled weather and noticeably lower accommodation prices than the summer peak, making it one of the most budget-friendly ways to enjoy a Greek island break in October. It is exactly the brief our Greece holidays deals are built around.
• Malia: Malia on the north coast of the Mediterranean's largest Greek island has broad sandy beaches and a large choice of hotels that often discount sharply once the summer rush ends. The island's main airport, a short drive away, keeps transfer times brief after a flight from the UK. The town can feel busy in the evenings, so it suits travellers who want nightlife and shops close by. We recommend it for budget-minded visitors who want a resort with plenty of amenities at a lower October price, the same brief our Greece All Inclusive Holidays deals are built around.
• Ixia: Ixia sits just a short drive from the island's historic capital on a sandy bay, with hotels that feel comfortable and noticeably quieter than the busiest resorts. October weather is generally warm, and the sea is often still inviting for swimming through the month. Shops and tavernas are close at hand, yet the pace stays calmer than at the livelier resort strips further along the coast. We see Ixia as a sensible pick for families and couples who want a relaxed resort at a competitive October rate. It is exactly the brief our Cheap Greece Holidays deals are built around.
• Kavos: Kavos is a compact resort on the south-east coast of the island, with bars, watersports and sheltered beaches that appeal to younger travellers. October brings lower room rates and fewer crowds than the height of summer, though some seasonal businesses begin to close toward the end of the month. The resort is lively rather than refined, so it suits groups wanting a sociable base. We recommend it when budget and nightlife rank above quiet beaches. It is exactly the brief our Greece Last Minute Holidays deals are built around.
• Kalamata: Kalamata on the southern Peloponnese offers a working harbour, a long beach front and an airy atmosphere that is quieter than the island resorts. October temperatures remain pleasant for walking the old town and the seafront, and accommodation prices are typically well below peak summer levels. The town has fewer purpose-built resort facilities, so it suits travellers who enjoy independent exploring, the same kind of flexible brief our Santorini holidays deals are built around. We rate it highly for a relaxed, good-value October stay with genuine local character.
