Only missed Sofia... my last second guess was Paris, but I guess it's not very high above sea level. Because it's on a river...

Ackchually... Paris being by a river doesn't mean it couldn't be above that elevation, rivers have varying elevations too and don't stay on sea level most of the time.

True, but large rivers do tend to be towards the end of their life and fairly low-altitude I suppose.

Same, I was stuck on that basis for a while too until I realised there were only a really small number of options that would work and something else must be going on. Suggest it would be clearer if the clue was worded Countries "and/or" Capitals of Europe.

That would not be clearer at all imo. The "and" would only make it confusing. I think it is fine the way it is

"Netherlands" also works for the last one of purple.

*It is a country/capital of Europe.

*It has 8+ letters. (11 total)

*It has a coast.

*It has an S in its name. (netherlandS)

It already works up to S in name, but it does not lie East of Warsaw.
