If you do a charity run, I'll put up an extra fiver for a photo taken outside the factory at Sant’Agata, Bolognese.

Istanbul, Portugal, Gibraltar, Messina, Kalamata, only a few that spring to mind. Personally wouldn't go Eastern Europe (maybe because I grew up there) or Scandinavia. |

Re: Bike travelling
I just did a trip to Croatia, Alps and Dolomites are stunning, I'd recommend getting a Garmin Zumo planning a route on say Google maps and uploading it, it makes following a route on minor (most fun!) roads so easy, also get Europe campsite POI's for it from here, absolutely invaluable...

Re: Bike travelling
I haven't been to Southern Italy or Greece, but the rest was "fairly" easy. English was spoken wherever it needed to be (hotel, b&b, restaurant) and if it wasn't, there was always a way around.
It will be expensive (close to a grand for petrol alone) and you'll need time. Pack a small (tesco 2 man) tent, sleeping bag and some clothes (a few tools under the seat go without saying). Unless you want to cook our own food, no reason why you shouldn't fit into a 50l tail bag and a tank bag. If you decide not to go for the furthest end of Europe, then the Dolomites were an incredible surprise and a total blast! Just done an Istanbul trip with this set up: http://s17.postimg.org/44dnlb4xr/IMG_1086.jpg |
