May not be totally accurate (Wikipedia) but some info here
Depends wether you do EU or mainland Europe. Either way the most westerly seems to be portugal rather than Ireland.. |

I thought the Northern tip of Morocco (Ceuta part of Spain) was furthest south but obviously not.

Ceuta is a Spanish enclave on the African continent. Interestingly Spain believes Ceuta and Melilla enclaves in Africa are Spanish and should remain Spanish. Gibraltar is claimed by Spain!
Anyway Ceuta is not in Europe. We have done the north, west and soutern points of continental Europe. Have been to Romania as well but not the far east of Romania. Brendan |

Iceland is a Nordic European island country and the western most point there is 24W
Like a lot of things have to be careful about definitions! Continental Europe/EU/Continental shelf etc etc. Me I blame the poor wording by the OP
I have my own translator for the southern and estern points for continental Europe, northern most point you do not need one

Regarding Sulina
When visiting Sulina back in 2001 we had to leave our car at Crisan to take a sort of pontoon ferry at a stray dog infested small harbor. Its completely isolated, an island in the delta. Don't know the situation today but we decided not to leave our car unattended and skip it. Sulina should be better reachable with ferries from the sea-side.
