Where's Scandinavia..???


Travel Info
I don't mean where on the map...it's just that I don't understand why looking down the list of countries on yahoo vacation I can't find Norway Sweden Denmark or Finland..in other words Scandinavia..I know a lot of people visit these countries so why aren't they on the list,,??

Travel Tips
Scandinavia is a collective name for Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland and if you are an inhabitant of those countries you are Scandinavian. It is the same as being called a West Indian. The islands of the caribbean sea are known as the West Indies, but you wouldn't book a holiday to the West Indies, you would go to Jamaica, St. Lucia, Antigua, Barbados etc. I am British but I live in England. Confusing isn't it?
Others
Go to a map of Europe and look up
Scandinavia is a historical and geographical region centered on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe and includes the three kingdoms of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The other Nordic countries, Finland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands, are also sometimes included because of their close historic and cultural relations to Norway, Sweden, and Denmark
You probably wont find The Antipodes or Benelux or Europe or Iberia either. This is because they are names for groups of countries not individual countries. Scandinavia is a group of countries in Northern Europe.
richmond girl is absolutley right. It irefers to a group of Northern European countries, cold but beautiful. Go to Greenland, there are crazy snow sports there and you will have a great time
Scandinavia as a regional not national description includes Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Not to be confused with the group of Baltic States which includes Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland and Germany.
I saw some cheap flights to Oslo Torp recently. 1p each way plus taxes and charges amounted to about 拢40.

It probably has something to do with demand and supply.
