How about a trip to Sicily, Italy
A Brief Summary
Yes, Sicily has 2 things not everyone looks for in a holiday… connections with the Mafia and an active volcano (one of the most active in the world), but these aside, (maybe these included if that’s how you roll!), Sicily has a lot to offer the holidaymaker. Choosing to go in October will mean you miss the heat of summer but still get plenty of warm sunshine and can therefore take things a little more slowly. Historical port cities of Palermo and Catania will provide the bulk of your options list, but there are plenty of smaller, traditional Sicilian towns and villages throughout the island, with the food and wine as fantastic as you’d expect!

Summers here are very sunny, with very little rain from late May to early Sep. The rest of Autumn sees much less rainfall that elsewhere in Italy, as do the winter months, with severe storms often only skirting the region, or passing over quickly. Winters are mild and fairly bright, although nights can be cool with high humidity. Spring is sunny and warm. Temperatures avergae over 30°c from late Jun to Aug and cool through a 25°c Autumn, to highs of 16°c in winter and 20°c in Spring. Very ocassional heatwaves can push temperatures here close to 45°c
