European Capitals Closest to the Sea

Can you name the 18 capital cities of European countries that are the least distance (or on) from the sea?
Inspired by a quiz by Georgekotz (Capitals Furthest From the Sea)
Measured on Google Earth.
Some may be on the sea by any meaningful way, but I'm measuring from the city center (where the name appears) in order to be decisive about what counts as the sea.
The answers with their distance in / / means that they might be on a body of water that connects to the sea, but it isn't really open ocean or there are many, many islands in the way.

This quiz looks good. If you want, give me that one to translate, instead of the Indian languages one.

Actually did the Indian languages one, only because it was short. But why do you have to preach Indian history to Greeks? 😭🙏

I responded to your message. Also that "preach Indian history to Greeks" is a joke obviously. I don't have no problem with some Indian quizzes, I just have difficulty translating them as I said

Give me this one to translate. I just want to do something for 5 minutes. It will be ready immediately

I finished it! The nuked one is also great, but I don't have time now. But it will most likely be done by tomorrow

You misspelled Valletta. I typed it twice and I was so confused when it didn't show up!
