Italy
The country is Italy. It is surrounded by several seas, which are the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Ionian Sea, the Adriatic Sea and the Ligurian Sea. They are part of the Mediterranean Sea, which is the answer you would be looking for.
The most famous one would be the "boot" - Italy. I guess that Greece should be considered as some kind of peninsula, too. Spain and Portugal are on the "Iberian" peninsula. Denmark is also on a peninsula.
You would find the Apennine Mountains in Italy. They span the length of the Italian peninsula, running approximately 1,200 km from north to south.
The U.S.A.
The correct answer would be Rome which is the capital of Italy.
Denmark occupies the Jutland peninsula by itself. It is the European country furthest west that occupies a peninsula alone. However, I would term it a country in northern Europe as opposed to western Europe. If Europe was split into just northern and southern, there would be two answers; Italy and Denmark.
It would depend on where in Ireland you were going to and where you were starting from in Italy. By air it could be as little as 2 hours.
Probably Italy. Ireland bans divorce completely or did until very recent times. I would say, Fair Italy.
A peninsula is an area of land that is attached to a larger landmass, but is surrounded by water on three or more sides. Both Canada and Germany are firmly embedded within their respective landmasses. Italy, however, is connected to Europe only on its northern end, and is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea on three sides, making Italy a peninsula.
