North Cyprus
Kyrenia & Coast
Perfect for all ages, the children will be over the moon to find their hotel has its very own water-park complete with slides, waterfalls and wave machines. But there are also trips to see castles, shipwrecks and markets, options to sail and snorkel, or go turtle watching in season. And you can go to Nicosia, right on the 'Green Line' that separates north from south Cyprus, where you can learn about local crafts such as carpet making and basket weaving. All in all it's a holiday that offers something for everyone. For full details see our Kyrenia & Coast itinerary. Kyrenia & Coast Itinerary.
Andorra
Pyrenean Summer
This is an action-packed week and great for slightly older children and teenagers because there are lots of adrenaline-rushing activities. You stay in one of the sunniest corners of Europe in a hotel with a swimming pool right on the French/Spanish borders. It's in the heart of the Pyrenean mountains, a perfect base for mountain biking and walking, tandem paragliding and rock-climbing, white-water rafting and 'via ferrata', to name but a selection of the activities on offer. For full details see our Pyrenean Summer itinerary. Pyrenean Summer Itinerary.
Spain
You stay in a traditional villa set in the hills of Andalucia. Then there is a menu of activities from which you choose seven. This is a great holiday if your kids are still quite small, as there are baby-sitting available. There are lots of walks and your hosts will equip you with maps. Spend a day on a local farm and help with fruit-picking, learn to cook paella and help make cheese. How about some Spanish lessons and role play? There are also optional horse riding, wind-surfing and mountain bikes to name but a few extras. For full details see our Rural Andalucia itinerary.
Austria
Alpine Summer
This adventure holiday is set in the stunning Austrian Tirol just below a lovely alpine lake. It offers children a really varied programme of activities. Older children can get their adrenaline rush as they go canyoning or white-water rafting, whilst youngsters can go on a more gentle 'family rafting' trip, try inner-tubing, learn climbing techniques or go walking with llamas. Your base is in a typical chalet apartment, and a rental car is included in the cost so you are free to explore as much as you like.

Adventure holidays don't have to be expensive and in this time of "Credit Crunch" it is still possible to find destinations that will still give you all the fun and adventure that your family is looking for without breaking the bank. Destinations to consider where you can pay less than £800 per adult including flights are Morocco, Croatia, Turkey and North Cyprus. And for less than £700 (land only) you could also go to Spain, Andorra or Austria. Child prices will often be much less for all of these trips.
