What you gain in October
- ↑Sea still 22°C: October is the last month for comfortable swimming — the coves are nearly empty and the water is warm
- ↑Dramatic autumn light and cloud: the cliff scenery in October light is among the most photogenic of the year — painterly, moody, and tourist-free
- ↑Prices 35–45% below August: genuinely good value with legitimate beach weather remaining
What you sacrifice
- ↓95mm of rain across the month: October storms can be dramatic — some days of heavy rain and rough seas are likely
- ↓Some hotels and restaurants beginning their winter closures by late October — check ahead
- ↓The Path of the Gods slippery after rain: the coastal hiking trails need dry conditions in autumn
