The travel operator Tui has extended the season for Greece and Turkey to November in response to increased demand, after extreme temperatures over the summer disrupted some holidaymakers’ plans.

More people have chosen to holiday in the cooler autumn months, after temperatures in parts of the Mediterranean jumped above 40C over the summer. Tui said demand for the usual final month of the season, October, was 8% higher than last year.
