Introduction

Mountains, Castles, Coastlines all on your doorstep – there is so much to see and do in Europe – cities and towns both ancient and modern from the remarkably preserved ruins of ancient Pompeii to the striking spires of wintery Russia, Explore’s range of European Adventure Holidays can offer something new to even the most well travelled of explorers.

Whether you want to scale the peak of the Matterhorn in Switzerland or relax on a sailing boat cruising the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia you can find your holiday here in what is one of the - if not the - widest choice of active holidays in Europe.

Europe: been there, done that. (Are you sure…?)

A trip within Europe may not be everyone's idea of an adventure holiday; yet... how much of the Old Continent have we actually seen and experienced? - A trek through sulphuric lava fields, up and over one of the most temperamental volcanoes on the planet? (That's right: Etna, with its fireworks). Treading the millennial tracks of the Santiago de Compostela pilgrims? A moderate trek through the Corsican villages or the Picos de Europa? Observing the natural treasures of the Danube Delta? Or the cultural treasures of ancient Macedonia?

And as Europe grows and gently opens up, there are a myriad of other sites, species and landscapes for us to experience. There's a lot to be said for good neighbours…
