Been binge watching Rick Steves' Europe and was wondering where the end scene where he is sitting on a dock and drinking wine was from because my wife and I want to go there.
Could you provide a link (is the video on this website)? Then possibly we could have a look.
Or post a screenshot.
I know what you are talking about. It is in the close where they are plugging ricksteves.com. (Want More Rick?) Rick is sitting at a table having a drink at sun set.
My guess it is on a Greek Island. I really don't know but that is my guess. But there are many places that could have that same scene.
If there’s an octopus on the table, then it’s on the island of Hydra. See that show and script at https://www.ricksteves.com/watch-read-listen/video/tv-show/athens-and-side-trips.
I believe you're looking at Hydra.
It was the episode Romantic Rhine and Rothenburg.. season 2 episode 12. After all the credits.
Thanks again
Didn't Rick put Rothenburg on the map?

I think it was known long before that. I found this print of "Rothenburg ob der Tauber Germany - Baedeker 1914" (click for link)
It was just not known to US-Americans.
I always thought it was Vernazza.
Greek island of Hydra (pronounced Ee-dra)
Rothenburg was well known, and visited by me, years before Rick crossed the Atlantic
I went to Rothenburg the first time in 1988, and I had been planning the trip for about a year, so I knew about it in 1987. I read about it in an older guide book at the time, maybe Baedeker. I didn't hear about Rick until a decade later. Rick might have put it on the map for Americans. Didn't Victor Hugo write about the "Romantic Rhein" in the mid-1800s?
I like Janet have always thought it is Vernazza.
It was the episode Romantic Rhine and Rothenburg.. season 2 episode 12. After all the credits.
Hydra or Vernazza seem unlikely choices for this episode
Edit--- was it this episode? https://www.ricksteves.com/watch-read-listen/video/tv-show/germanys-romantic-rhine-and-rothenburg
Didn't see anyone sitting on a dock and drinking wine in that episode.
This one has a quai-side dining scene with wine.

It is the 2 second scene after all the credits... I haven't been on a computer yet to screenshot it.
Been to that very restaurant on Hydra when we took the Greece tour and it was just as fabulous sitting there as it looks on Rick’s show
Hydra, Kodylenia’s Taverna above the Kaminia harbor. We were there last year in the spring on the RS Greece tour. Beautiful with all the wildflowers!
