Europe Holidays

Travel Guide for Europe

Island hopping in the Aegean, partying in Ibiza, vineyard touring in Portugal, gallery-going in Barcelona, beach basking in Turkey, yacht cruising in Montenegro… How will you spend your European holiday? The possibilities are endless. Thanks to its long cultural history, Europe will never be boring. From Neolithic sites and Greek ruins to Gothic cathedrals and crumbling castles - a journey through Europe always feels like a journey through time.

Luxury Holidays in Europe

Although it is one of the most developed regions of the world, the present and future in Europe are inevitably marked by the past. Anyone familiar with the turbulent history of the continent understands the peculiarities of the individual nations. This also means there is no shortage of fascinating museums, galleries and architecture to provide the necessary insight and reveal more of Europe’s story. 

5 Great Reasons to Holiday in Europe

• Why not considerably reduce your airtime by holidaying in a dream-like destination that is merely a couple of hours away from the UK by plane?
• The beautiful beaches of the Algarve, Portugal, might just be part of the best coastline in all of Europe. Add to this fabulous diving opportunities and great golf resorts for a superb holiday option.
• Towering cliffs, clear blue waters, and whitewashed villages all can be found in the Aegean Sea. The Greek islands of Santorini, Mykonos, and Crete are as quintessentially pretty as it gets.
• There’s a reason why Spain has been the number one summer holiday destination for Brits over the years: the sun, the food, the wine, the people… If you haven’t been there in a while, why not rekindle an old love? You won’t be disappointed.
• It could be said that the recent rise in Turkey tourism is long overdue. The beaches on the Aegean coast can compete with any in Europe, and on top of that you have fantastic cities like Istanbul, which, in terms of culture and history, are in a league of their own.

Things to do on holiday in Europe
