Hello and welcome to the Geography page of David's Travel Guides. I have always been interested in geography and history being my favourite subjects at school.
For geography on the cities, towns and villages covered under this project please refer to their individual pages. As this site covers Europe I will stick to writing about the geography of the European continent on this page.
Europe can be described as a peninsula of the Eurasian continent, bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Mediterranean, Black, and Caspian Seas to the south. Europes peninsulas are known as the Iberian, Italian, and Balkan, located in southern Europe with Scandinavian and Jutland, located in northern Europe, also Ireland and the United Kingdom on the Alantic Ocean.

Accommodation
One of the delights of travelling is to sample the food of the part of the world you are visiting. David's Travel Guides will not be a disappointment to your palette.
World FoodsThere are 44 countries in Europe, these are divided into different regions, there are 9 countries in Western Europe, 10 countries in Eastern Europe, 15 countries in Southern Europe, and 10 countries in Northern Europe.
The estimated population of Europe is 748,473,998 as of May 2022.
It is estimated that there are more than 500,000 natural lakes larger than 0.01 km2 (1 ha) in Europe. About 80% to 90% of these are small with a surface area of between 0.01 and 0.1 km2, whereas around 16,000 have a surface area exceeding 1 km2. About three quarters of the lakes are located in Scandinavia and the Karelo-Kola part of Russia.
