I’m not sure I gave an opinion about Turkey – I just said that for most Scandinavians it is a charter destination and most Norwegians that go there, go there only for the sun, beach and relaxation. But I would love to see Istanbul and Turkey one of these days

I’m surprised about your opinion of Turkey. I am not a party or beach person and Turkey is one of the best places I have been. The whole country is replete with history and ruins. The food is fresh and good. Cappadocia is a wonder in itself. There’s so much more to Turkey than Istanbul and partying. The people there are very friendly and helpful. There’s a reason Turkey is high on the list. Go there, you’ll like it.

I guess people find Norway too expensive and that is why it is not on the list But it is a bit strange that Malaysia in not on the list as it is a place that has lots to offer, it is fairly cheap and you guys have been advertising on e.g. CNN forever (Malaysia Truly Asia )

I totally agree with New Zealand being up there, although to me, it ought to be in first place. The whole country (and sheep) is geared towards tourism and there are loads of tourist friendly instructions, brochures, booklets, etc. that one just can’t get lost while driving there. Of course, the sights are amazing too.

Am happy to see Spain and South Africa up there as well. Where’s Norway? I guess whoever decided on the list didn’t see Kjerag and Preikestolen and the amazing fjords! And hey, whatever happened to Malaysia?
