xphoebus December 25, 2009 at 12:38 pm: I think your question doesn’t really make sense, for many reasons. If you want us to tell you -5° is the highest temperature on your list we can, but I hope you already know that.

1. The fact that a city has high temperatures in the winter doesn’t mean it is warmer in the summer. Areas located on coasts tend to be warmer in the winter but cooler during the summer for example. It just is not as simple as you put it. You should look at average temperatures in all 12 months of the year.

2. I don’t know what your source is but I can guarantee it’s definitely been below -5° in Athens before. However it’s true that Greece can be considered the warmest country in the Balkans, it’s all about being South of all the other ones.

3. Are you talking about cities or capital cities? All the cities you’ve mentioned are capitals. In case you’d like to know, Athens is not the warmest city in Greece. Larissa for example (in central Greece) is generally warmer in the summer, while cities in southern Greece tend to be warmer in the winter (Kalamata for example).

4. You forgot Cyrpus, which last time I checked is considered a European country. It is very warm and dry overall. You could check some Cypriot cities such as the capital Nicosia.

(Oh and BTW Istanbul is spelt with an N).
Charles_N December 25, 2009 at 12:48 pm: No it’s rather Larisa or Agrinio…i agree with the lad below though that said that coastal regions may be cooler than others in the summer…
Totally Blunt December 25, 2009 at 1:21 pm: I would say Southern Cyprus should be hotter than all. The reason being, I lived in Anamur, right across the island, all during my childhood and saw snow only after we moved to İstanbul.
Just Another Macedonian December 25, 2009 at 1:29 pm: Don’t know where you’re from, but that’s not “FYR Macedonia”, it’s just Macedonia. Don’t listen to Greeks, they are the only ones who call our country “Fyrom”. How would they feel if someone called them FTROG (Former Turkish Republic of Greece)? Even the spell checker in MS Word doesn’t recognize the word “Fyrom/Fyromian”, but it does recognize the word Macedonia and Macedonian.
Xristina December 25, 2009 at 1:32 pm: Well, being the most southern country on that list, and also a Mediterranean one, I would say Greece is the hottest. (And not only in climate… hehe)
Lady S December 25, 2009 at 1:45 pm: Well, over the years of watching the weather report for South-Eastern Europe, I have to admit I have noticed that Sarajevo usually tends to be the coldest, and yes, Athens is usually the warmest of all the capital cities in the Balkans. That’s quite normal when you consider the geographical positions of those cities and their altitude above the sea. By the way, that’s Zagreb, not Zagrev.
lastsamurai December 25, 2009 at 2:04 pm: Tirana for sure
plostad December 25, 2009 at 2:57 pm: Please don’t call Republic of Macedonia Fyrom, it’s insulting. But, you can always call it only Macedonia.
Valentina May 30, 2011 at 1:50 am: Just traveling basically. It's just a figure of speech.

AdamManning July 3, 2011 at 8:25 pm: what are you doing
robert.schifreen August 6, 2011 at 6:56 am: its probably just stale bread with the crust removed.
NICOLEDOREE October 28, 2011 at 7:35 am: Damn it! What does the hottest girl in here Smoke!! Biggest turn off for me!!
Natalie February 9, 2012 at 12:43 am: "Professionally Dangerous" is the episode in which Olivia comes in with her Armani coat (Scene with Olivia). However, I would like to add that the Soup edited the scene dramatically because I watch both the City and the Soup. It really won't be funny once you watch the whole scene because she does say more than one word. Hope that helps!
DunkinLolipop April 29, 2012 at 11:26 pm: it is 사랑해 (saranghae)

I think it sounds lovely. I like how it kind of rolls of the tongue XD And when you put feeling into it, it sounds so major and deep
Each one sounds lovely in its own way ^^
