re: Favorite countries to visit that you've explored more than 3 cities in?

I get what you're asking, but I'm not sure if there's a better way to put it.

I enjoyed the nine days I spent in Iceland and driving the Ring Road, but Iceland really only has two "cities" (do we count towns?).

The week I spent driving around Jordan was fantastic, but I only spent one night in Amman and didn't explore the city at all.

Peru goes on the list for sure. I spent 17 days there and really enjoyed getting off the gringo trail in places such as Iquitos, Tarapoto, Chiclayo, and Trujillo.

My favorite place is the Azores, and I visited four islands, but the Azores are part of Portugal and not really their own country.
