October holiday

My daughter will be off school for a week in mid-October and I want to plan a vacation.  I was thinking maybe Venice (what is it like in October?).  We will be living in Scotland so I feel like I will need some sun.  Are any beach resorts warm enough to swim in mid-October (like Greece or the Canaries).  We went to Spain this summer so want to try somewhere else.  Although my daughter would like to go to Paris it may be too cold and or rainy.

The canaries will be warm.  I went in October one year and it was 24/25 each day.

Personally I'd not focus on a beach holiday yet (save that for next August).  I would go see some cities.  Maybe Barcelona?  If the weather is nice there are beaches there.  But it's a great city!  Lots for everyone.

You might be surprised at how incredibly expensive package holidays are during school holidays. 
I loved Barcelona.  Don't let anyone convince you to go to Morocco.
