Besides, Greece has the largest tourism in all med: 11 million tourists per years so I can take the poll slap.

P.S. About your kidneys, you can sell it to your albanian mafia, when (like always) you're short of cash

I just thing that polls like this are inherently pointless


I do too. That is why I put 'best' and I could have been more specific (best for tourism, best to live, best to see...etc)

I hope for a general discussion about mediteranean countries

instead I get your trolling (expected) and not much else

because our fellow posters dont really understand mediterrasnean and its differences (not unlike I dont see differences between types of snow in baltic countries or somehting )

Italy is generally very overrated. so is greece

and all med countries lost somewhat of the old traditions as they become more modern

like beer is more and more popular in dalmatia, where wine used to be the drink and so on

To try and be consctructive:

I believe that the med (as a geographical characterization) is the most diverse and interesting place on earth.

No where else will one find such diversity and fascinating different cultures. Spain Greece Italy Turkey and Egypt, Maroco Tynise...

It is really the most interesting part of the world any way you look at it.

I voted Italy because of patriotism.

But personally I think that most Mediterranean Countries are very beautyful.

Till now I've visited, France, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Lybia and Tunisia, and I must say that i liked them all.

I never been on any of the former yugoslavian repubblic, but next summer I already planned to go all the way from Croatia down to Kosovo (where I have a friend living there) and visit most of those states.

I think Italy is already on that track, with about 48% of population over 60 years old. And most of them live up to 85+ years (my grandgrandmother is going to be 103 in a few months )

Croatia-Montenegro-Kosovo? With or without Bosnia? theoretically they have some sea (croatian sea really) so they are also mediterranean country, but they are not so in character. Very unique place. Where else can you see muslim punk rockers for example? Some good food too. Try to visit it also.

wow. my oldest granny is 90. had a hard life under at least 5 different regimes, never learned to write but still going strong

do old folks from for example germany move to Italy, or is that 48% just your own old folks?

you are going to need a lot of immigrants to help the economy

bad luck for you, you mostly get albanians which come together with their mafia.

Well, my plan was to make the "real" vacation in Croatia (1, maybe 2, weeks there of sea, discos and girls )
Than since one my friend is very good at sailing, and his very rich father owns a sailing boat , my thought would have been to sail all the way down to Montenegro, visiting in the meanwhile the various Croatian Islands, reach Montonegro, and from there go in Kosovo, and visit those my friends.

All this in between the last 2 weeks of July, and the first weeks of August

(good thing of being a student, so you can have a lot of spare time and visit a lot of nerby countries)

Florida of the EU?

Well that's funny you should mention it because when Greece was about to enter the EU some people in Greece asked themselves: so what we going to become in that monster block?

And the punchline was: the waiters of Europe

That was used as a retort of the opposition to the governing party IIRC for lack of investments in heavy industry and other productive sectors.

yup.

the anti-Mafia commettee already stated that the Albanese Mafia is already running over half of the former Sicilian and Neaples Mafia stuff.

And yes... those are just our own old folks

That's why even Berlusconi had to create laws PROTECTING immigration, rather than outlawing it.

Actually we are not mountainless. We have plenty of mountains.

It's just that for some reason skiing never caught on in this country as a widespread sport.

There's snow in winter BTW in many of those mountains and there are skiing centers.

It just didn;t caught on.

(maybe because sea skiing was far more accessible? )
