Top European Tours for Young Adults
We would never say that adventure is reserved only for the young, but we would say that your younger years are a time to have adventures. So, from island-hopping in Greece to eating your way through Italy, these are the top European trips to embark on before you hit your 30s.

Greek Island Odyssey
Write your own Greek legend on this sun-splashed, eight-day adventure around the Cyclades that starts in Athens. After a crowd-beating tour of the Acropolis and dining on local dishes in underrated neighbourhood Keramikos, the next morning, it’s off to the island of Milos while the sun skims gold coins across the surface of the Aegean. After exploring the whitewashed alleyways and quiet beaches in Milos, it’s on to atmospheric Naxos, where you’ll learn how to cook a traditional three-course Greek meal. Santorini – with those iconic hillside views – is your final stop.

Coastal Croatia
There are at least 101 reasons to visit the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia – and this eight-day adventure covers just about all of them, starting with two nights in seductive Split. Next, it’s over to the ritzy, party-loving island of Hvar, with a romantic Medieval town centre and bar-lined beaches. We suggest you get your socialising done here because the next stop – the island of Vis – is all about serene seclusion, as you explore the wild beaches and grotto-like sea caves. Korčula is next, dappled with vineyards and olive groves, and where you’ll get to sample crisp, local wines. Finally, you’ll visit Dubrovnik and try some deliciously briny oysters before heading home.

Seductive Southern Italy
The only people who’d argue that Southern Italy isn’t the most beautiful part of the country are northern Italians. For anyone else, the ankle end of Italy’s boot boasts the most postcard-pretty places – from Matera to Positano. This 10-day tour takes it all in, starting in Naples, the spiritual home of pizza. But it’s not just pizza that the city is proud of, as you’ll find out on a street-food tour. Nor, as you’ll discover next on a day-long excursion, is the Amalfi Coast just for Instagram posers, or the region of Puglia only about olive oil.
