I went in the last week of October 2 years ago and the weather was beautiful and warm in the daytime but a bit nippy at night.  I don''t know if I was just lucky that particular week.

Hi Kaz - we go then too - have done for the past 3 years as it is half term for us!  We have had brilliant weather - although can be nippy at night - but I know it is unpredictable - for instance - last year - the week before we went was when the huge storm hit kalkan and washed cardiac hill into a pile of rubble in the harbour and many homes and businesses were flooded!

So I think - just be prepared for all sorts - but if you get sunshine - it will be lovely and warm and you will have a great time!

(PS - I have ordered good weather for that week - so we should all be OK..!!  ;) ;))

think there''s already a thread on motorcycle hire - just type it into the search box - but from what I remember it wasn''t recommended - again because of the hills and something to do with legal requirements for hiring..but have a look yourself, Kaz.

There is a small motorcycle hire place near the roundabout, I think??

Just to add to other comments about the time of year, the sea will also be lovely & warm, best time of year for swimming in the sea, I love it!!

I''ve never really understood why the sea can feel warmer than the pools. It does though.  Light jacket should suffice for the evenings - at least that''s what I''ve found around that time.  Bill

It''s all to do with physics & volume - the sea is huge compared to a pool & holds its heat for far longer (& is 100000000000000000000 times nicer to swim in, IMO :D)
