We all know of the romantic places around the world like Paris, France or Venice, Italy, but what about places named Love or translate to Love?
At first, I was looking at doing an article on odd or funny city names around the world (and I still will), but I came across a couple of places that translate to love. Then I decided to see just how many places there were around the world like this.
Here is what I found:
Greek meaning Love
It is a tiny village of around 30 people located in northern Greece and located 185 miles (298 kilometers) northwest of Athens, the capital of Greece.
