Europe is often described as a “peninsula of peninsulas.” A peninsula is a piece of land surrounded by water on three sides. Europe is a peninsula of the Eurasian supercontinent and is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Mediterranean, Black, and Caspian seas to the south.

For those unused to world travel, Europe is one of the easiest destinations to start in. With so much to offer, it is no surprise that travelers are desperate to flock to the old continent.
