My husband and I recently returned from a trip to Greece. As with pretty much every life experience, visiting there gets my creative juices flowing, making me envision different ways to incorporate things I've seen and done into new stories. 
We did several days in Athens, viewing historical sites, roaming streets, popping into shops, and just taking in sights and sounds of being in Greece. We visit Meteora for a couple of days and Corinth for a day. And, we went to Naxos for 3 days. The food was consistently the best food we've ever encountered. Every single meals the food was fresh and delicious. The people were lovely and friendly. 
I've never written a story set completely in a foreign country, but traveling to places like Greece makes me consider, for sure.
As a reader, do you prefer settings that are familiar to you or settings that are more exotic such as a Greek island or say, London or Paris?

I prefer reading books set in familiar places. I am a stay at home kind of person so the more familiar, the more comfortable to me.
