Let me add Denmark in my "visited list". Just a query, do you guys carry any tourist map with you when you visit any foreign country? Or do you use online apps for finding the tourist attractions, restaurants, etc?
Spain, Greece, Portugal, France, Italy, Cyprus. Plus the different listed places in the UK of course.........
We have visited Spain and Greece many times, getting back from the island of Zante in Greece just over a week ago. We are traveling to Spain next month.
Which country do I like most? Hmmmmmm......... the Greek islands are beautiful, and the people very friendly. A couple of years ago, we were on the island of Rhodes for Easter. With some Greek friends, we gathered round the village church Easter Sunday night. The square was lit up with hundreds of candles, and the local people sang hymns.
At the end, the villagers walked away carrying their candles, which our friend told us would be used to light some more when they got home. This was part of some religious ritual carried out for many years. It was a lovely thing to see, and we haven't forgotten that night.
Spain also has great qualities. Even tourist traps like Benidorm has it's old town area where the Spanish people live. Fantastic tapas bars where the Spanish gather at night, and sometimes break out in song. Hard to believe sometimes when we are there, within a fifteen minute walk, the British are gathered in bars owned by Brits with soccer playing on a telly, and signs outside saying 'Sunday - roast dinner just like home.........'......
But, for overall beautiful scenery, and great people, I think Greece is the place we love most.

Tourist maps plus Google Maps as well as maps of Public Transport System, Tripadvisor. I also always visit Local Government Tourist Office for various Discount codes for different attractions as well as free maps. Sometimes Online prices are not the best, you have to do some Research before entering any attraction.
It wasn't set up right. It needs to allow multiple choice.
