    Xinovryssi, Greece
    Xero Chorio, Greece
    Xilokastro, Greece

    Mine are all major European capitals and cities mate.

    LOVE Europe. I used to always spend my holidays going as far as possible, only to realise that we have some absolute gems on our doorstep in Europe.

    For mine I have not got the foggiest. Found them by doing a search on t'internet. I would imagine there will be things to see in Yerevan as it is the capital of Armenia. However the best bet would be search for those cities on wiki or something.

    How about Warsaw for a W? Never been there and it's probably pants, but it does begin with a W. It's that or Wycombe.
