As the days shorten and routine begins to press in again, it takes little to transform a normal autumn weekend into a small sun-filled escape. Ryanair’s new promotion could be the right opportunity to plan a few days away from home, among Mediterranean islands, sea-facing cities, and temperatures that are noticeably more pleasant than those in Italy.
The airline invites you to “escape the daily monotony” with flights starting at 24.99 euros, even though among the available routes there are fares even more affordable, starting at 14.99 euros. The promotion is subject to availability and terms and conditions apply. It is possible to book by October 16, 2026 to travel in the period between October 1 and December 17, 2026. As always, fares can change depending on the route and the dates selected.
Among the most appealing opportunities, we have selected three destinations that are perfect for those who are not yet ready to say goodbye to the sun for good.
From Milan Malpensa to Palma de Mallorca
Mallorca isn’t merely a summer destination. With the end of peak season, Palma shifts its pace: crowds thin out, temperatures become milder, and the historic center lends itself even better to long strolls. Autumn is considered by the local tourism board to be one of the ideal periods to discover the city’s cultural side, with churches, ancient convents, historic courtyards, museums, and art galleries. The climate also allows for more time spent outdoors and, on the most favorable days, even for enjoying the island’s beaches.
From Milan Malpensa you can fly to Palma starting at 14.99 euros: a fare that makes Mallorca appealing even for a long weekend.
From Bari to Malta
For travelers departing from Southern Italy, another opportunity takes you straight to the heart of the Mediterranean. Flights from Bari to Malta start from 14.99 euros, effectively making the archipelago one of the most interesting options for a short autumn break. Valletta, with its honey-colored palaces and sea-facing fortifications, can be the starting point to explore the island, followed by Mdina, the cliffs, and the small coastal towns.
The climate remains one of Malta’s major advantages even off-season: the tourism board highlights mild temperatures and numerous opportunities for outdoor activities year-round. The archipelago also boasts thousands of hours of sunshine annually, in addition to a cultural heritage spanning more than 7,000 years.
From Rome Fiumicino to Paphos
The final getaway leads to Cyprus, where autumn seems to arrive considerably later. From Rome Fiumicino to Paphos, fares start from 19.99 euros in October. Paphos combines sea and archaeology: the harbor, the medieval castle, and especially the Kato Pafos archaeological area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, tell the island’s past, while just outside the city you encounter places linked to the myth of Aphrodite and natural landscapes such as the Akamas peninsula.
The weather plays in favor of an autumn departure: October in Cyprus still brings warm days, while even in November there can be conditions suitable for outdoor lunches, sunbathing, and, on the best days, even swimming.
