[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have only been to 6 or 7 European countries but l felt welcome in all.  A few people have mentioned Turkey, a small part of which is considered Europe.  Turkey doesn’t feel like Europe though, it feels like the Middle East.

I bring it up because l traveled there for a month in 2010 as a good looking conservatively dressed 35 year old woman and was constant harassed by men, more so than in any other of the 35+ countries I’ve been to, except in Istanbul which was fine.  So it was the opposite of welcoming for me, a lot of them treated me like meat.  I would only recommend it for a woman traveling with a man, or maybe an older woman. [/quote]

I was in Turkey in my 20s and the harassment was constant.  [/quote]

I spent a fair amount of time in Spain in my teens, in the 1980s, and the amount of harassment was shocking.  Men just picking or smacking my butt on the street and no one cared, men calling after me constantly.  I haven’t been back to Spain in all these years….i assume it’s changed now?  [/quote]
