7 holiday destinations you can still catch in October

And then suddenly it was... autumn. Yes, sorry, but was this really the summer we were all looking forward to? Around me, I hear friends sighing and groaning. Some tickets are still being booked quickly, left and right. Before it's too late.

Do you want to get away quickly too? I feel you. Take it from the bright side: now that about three-quarters of the world is off-limits, it's suddenly very clear where you can still go and where it's still somewhat pleasant to be in October.

Fortunately, my buddies at Skyscanner are not the hardest to please. They found out: at these 7 destinations, it's still great to be in October.

Destination – Average temperature in October
1. Sicily, Italy – 22 °C
2. Puglia, Italy – 21 °C
3. Curaçao – 32 °C
4. Bonaire – 32 °C
5. Madeira, Portugal – 21 °C
6. The Azores, Portugal – 21 °C
7. The Algarve, Portugal – 23 °C

So, book a ticket and go? I'm in. Tomorrow, I'm getting on a plane to Curaçao. YAY!

P.S.: Side note: for all destinations, there is currently a yellow travel advisory. According to the government, it's responsible to vacation here, but do check the latest travel advice from the Dutch government to avoid surprises.
