	Monaco? Other than that I think it's a good quiz.

	Thanks, it is changed now.

	Great idea for a quiz. What about Athens? Also, I'm not sure I entirely buy London being coastal--if you're going to include it, you should probably also add Paris, Riga, Rome, Moscow, and all the other cities on rivers that drain into the sea.

	Good quiz, London is not a coastal city though, and Athens should probably be included

	Athens is not coastal; Its harbor Piraeus is. Furthermore, I'll indeed remove London for reasons specified. If you liked this quiz, try 'World Coastal Capitals'. Undoubtedly it will spark further discussion.

	The reason I put London as coastal though, is that the thames is a tidal river. The Seine, for example, is not. But I changed the criterion to 'situated at the coast or a bay'.

	Amsterdam?

	Amsterdam is not on the coast. It is situated at IJsselmeer, which is separated from the sea by dykes.

	You need to define coastal. Tidal estuaries are normally classified as part of the coast. London was the largest coastal port in the world for several hundred years. Athens and Pireus are one metropolitan area and definitely on the coast. Amsterdam is only artificially non-coastal.

	Istanbul is DEFINITELY not a capital.

	what about Athens, I saw that above you said you didn´t include it, but I didn´t understand the reasoning. I was there last spring and from the port to the city centre was less than a 20 minute city cab ride, and all urban area between the 2, so I thought it was coastal. Please explain (I don´t mean to be hostile or anything, I just want to learn, thanks)

	athens and piraeus are concidered as one city, so you should add athens.

	Lisbon does not lie on the coast, it lies on a river bank. Its satellite cities are the ones that lie on the atlantic

	Athens and Piraeus are separate cities, with separate municipalities. Check for yourself http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athens, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piraeus
