Autumn travel trends show high demand for sun destinations

As autumn approaches, travel trends show high demand for sun-seeking destinations. Popular locations for the upcoming autumn holidays include the Canary Islands, Egypt, Turkey, Greece, and Mallorca. While Greece is seeing high booking rates, availability remains better in Morocco, Cyprus, and the Canary Islands. Travel experts note that prices are slightly higher than in 2025 due to inflation.

Rental car costs for the autumn season are also seeing shifts. While mainland destinations in Greece, Spain, and Portugal remain relatively affordable, island locations like Sicily, Madeira, and Crete are seeing higher weekly rates due to demand. In Spain, Ibiza is expected to see a 17% price increase compared to the previous year.

In Germany, the weather transition is marked by late-season storm warnings. The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued alerts for thunderstorms, heavy rain, and strong winds, particularly in the northwest and eastern regions, as a low-pressure system moves across the country.

In local community news, Eintracht Hildesheim is expanding its holiday offerings with SchulStarterCamps specifically designed for first-grade students during the 2026 autumn break. These camps include themed activities such as water sports, nature exploration, and movement training.
