Europe Holidays

Spain and her islands are always a popular choice. The Canary Islands are just off the coast of Africa consisting of amazing volcanic islands, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and Tenerife. Visitors will enjoy year round sunshine, warm seas banked by amazing sand dunes as well as plenty of restaurants and sights to see. The Balearic Islands enjoy the warm waters of the Mediterranean, Majorca, Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera all offer something different, the nightlife of Ibiza and Majorca to the more genteel island of Menorca and the lesser known Formentera. Mainland Spain has the vibrant cities of Barcelona,  Madrid and Seville, the Costa’s with its many Irish bars and sandy beaches to the many beautiful parts of the country which are steeped in tradition and wonderful to explore. 

In complete contrast a journey to Lapland is a magical experience in search of the Northern Lights and the famous Santa. This is truly a memorable experience and one the Charter Travel team love to advise and arrange. Visitors can stay in either a first class hotel a log cabin or even include a night in an igloo plus enjoy a ride on a snowmobile and husky sleigh. A Christmas holiday to Lapland is an exciting time and a holiday your child will treasure forever. 

Iceland offers a unique European destination, this can make for a fabulous long weekend away or self-drive holiday. There are many outdoor activities here including white water rafting, fishing and whale watching. The relaxing geothermal seawater of the Blue Lagoon is popular with both tourists and locals and in the winter months you may be lucky to view the Aurora Borealis. 

For those looking for a carefree holiday the beautiful islands of Greece are filled with diversity, from relaxing in the sunshine, to water sports and exploring the many historical sites. Greek hospitality is what makes this country so special, as there is nothing more perfect then sampling the sumptuous Greek cuisine in a traditional taverna overlooking the sea as the sunsets. 

Bulgaria, offers fabulous value for money.
