Europe
Europe, a popular holiday destination, is the second smallest continent, covering around 2% of the Earth's surface.
The European culture has its roots in ancient Rome and ancient Greece.
It is believed that the continent's name is derived from the Phoenician princess, Europa, in ancient Greek times. Her name is said to refer to the ancient Greek elements εὐρύς (eurús), "wide, broad" and ὤψ (ōps, gen. ὠπός, ōpós) "eye, face, countenance", hence their composite Eurṓpē would mean "wide-gazing" or "broad of aspect".
