Sort of an odd question, but thought I'd ask it. I am going to be in Copenhagen for work in October and I would like to take advantage of the opportunity to go travel somewhere close by. I have seen Copenhagen and parts of the surrounding areas, so I have little interest in seeing those again and I would like to go somewhere relatively warm.

My requirements are:
- Somewhere within close flying distance to Copenhagen (ideally with direct flights available -- please list airlines as appropriate).
- Somewhere warm during October.
- Somewhere with not too much chance of rain in October.

Places that come to mind (but I have no idea whether flights from Copenhagen are doable or not):
- Turkey
- Morocco
- Croatia (though I think there is a high likelihood of rain)
- (been to all these places) Southern Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greek islands

Any thoughts?

I think only Spain, Tenerife, Greece (Southern Islands) and Turkey (Antalya) could qualify for warm weather and direct flights from CPH. What are you interested in doing, as "warm" can have a whole different meaning for every person reading this...?

Cyprus.

Definitely still quite warm in October, you can generally swim in the sea.

Cimber/Sterling seems to have direct flights (http://www.cimber.dk/billige_flybilletter/rutekort/europa.html) but not sure if they still run in October. Lots of charters, though, best to check with local travel agents.

Good point. By warm I mean 70-75 F (21-24 C) or higher on average (during the day).

You might want to think about Cyprus (LCA). It will still be warm in October.

Ayia Napa has some great sandy beaches....and all the young British party animals will be long gone by October.

You can also travel out to the Karpas Peninsula on the Turkish side of the island. The beaches at the eastern tip of Cyprus at Dipkarpaz (Golden Beach) is amongst the best in the Mediterranean Sea.

Getting to Cyprus from Copenhagen might require a change of planes.

Lisbon, Portugal fits your requirements.
