beaches, Europe is a vast and varied continent with almost endless opportunities for
luxury holidays to remember for a lifetime. No matter your interests or hobbies, age or abilities, there’s the perfect destination for you out there, so be sure to call one of our expert travel advisers and start planning your dream getaway today.
If it’s
beaches you’re seeking, the Mediterranean is certainly your go-to. From Cyprus to the Costa Blanca the sunlit shores of this heaven on Earth certainly tick all the boxes when it comes to lounging about between cerulean waters and an azure sky.
While the Med basks in warmth all year round, meaning its blissful
beaches are ideal in all seasons, during the height of summer other regions of Europe open up to sunbathers and
beach-lovers as temperatures climb and clouds clear. From the
Algarve to Cornwall, the Atlantic coastline offers plenty of sun-washed sands so you can get your tan on no matter where you are.
For culture lovers, Europe certainly will never disappoint you. The ancient cities of
Rome and
Athens are packed with monuments and museums, and every town, city and village from
Lisbon to Limassol features forts, castles, palaces and cathedrals that will dazzle your eyes and capture your imaginations. From large-scale iconic attractions like
Paris’ Eiffel Tower to smaller, potentially less well-known sights like the Clérigos Tower in
Porto, whether you’re a major history nerd or simply have a passing curiosity, you’re sure to be enriched and illuminated wherever you travel.
If
skiing is your passion, Europe offers some of the best facilities in the world, from the Alps to the mountains of Pyrenees. The winter
Olympics has been hosted on the continent 14 times, more than anywhere else, and the five-star facilities on which gold medals are won are still in place for the use of eager holidaymakers.
Courchevel, Soldeu, Beitostolen and Cervinia await you, with pristine slopes and cosy cabins sure to get the James Bond inside you leaping with excitement.
Maybe skiing isn’t your sport, in which case you’ll still be kept totally satisfied with the Algarve’s world-renowned
golf courses, Greece’s endless
watersports opportunities and the awesome rock-climbing courses of
Croatia and
Scotland. For fitness fanatics, nothing is out of your reach in Europe.
The birthplace of endless traditions, styles, philosophies,
sports, ideas and innovations, Europe is a rich and vibrant land full of potential, guaranteeing holidays to remember all round.
WINGED BOOTS WISDOM
Grab a dictionary before heading out to Europe – dozens of languages are spoken across the continent and while many people also speak English as a second language you’re sure to experience much more courteous and amenable service from the locals if you know a few words or phrases in the local dialect.
