Of the countries mentioned, I've only been to Italy and Greece. But I'd go with Italy. Why?

Motorcycles
History
Baroque architecture
Roman ruins/engineering/architecture
Art
The people are pros at enjoying life
Tiramisu
Gelato
Sunshine all the time
Great looking women

I could go on, and on, and on....and on....

I've been to Italy, Greece, Slovenia, Croatia, Turkey & Egypt. I picked Croatia because it is the land of my parents and ancestors. Lots of personal history there, plus it is a beautiful country. Not to say the others aren't - as they all are, in their own ways. Just more of an emotional and spiritual connection with me, Croatia.

Second on my list would be Italy. Amazing country is so many ways.

People scoff at me when I tell them that Albania is the holiday destination of tomorrow.

It's got great weather, fascinating history, nice beaches. The Albanian revolutions is coming. ALBANIA ROCKS.

Remember where you first heard it.

Ah yeah I was the one who voted for the Big A. I suspect I could be the first and last.

I won't scoff. You are not alone.
We sailed past Albania on our way to Corfu in 2001, and I remember how undeveloped (and unspoiled) it looked.
In 2006, the next time we were "in the neighborhood" (Croatia) I looked into going to Tirana or Saranda, but it just didn't work out, we did not have enough time.
Some day!

It's not fair to assess when I've only been to two of the countries -- Spain and Italy. I voted for Italy, though, because of many of the things mackinac81 mentioned and the fact that it's a photographer's dream. If I were feasible, I'd love to spend a year there just roaming around the country in an endless feast and photo shoot.

Wait a minute- where is Portugal on that list? It is right before Spain. It's a small country but very beautiful. People tend to forget about it.

I vote for Portugal!!! South of Portugal- The Algarve region to be exact which is on the Mediterranean- a boat ride to Morocco.

Can't wait to go back!

Albania is still underdeveloped thus still has lots of unspoiled forests.
Remember Albania is a muslim country and will never be a big party place.
It is however cheap and appealing to those on a budget, BUT crime is high. For example, its the capital of stolen vehicles in the world......to say the least!
