I knew Malta was small... but not even in the top 20 biggest islands in its own sea (or top 30, apparently)... that's embarrassing. Also, Mallorca. http://www.lonelyplanet.com/spain/mallorca

The greatest surprise by me was Cyprus being bigger than Corsica. It doesn't look taht ay in most maps.

BTW, Eivissa (local name) should be accepted for Ibiza.

Note; even if the quiz did go that far, Malta wouldn't be on it. it would be its largest constituent island, Victoria, followed by the other one whose name I've forgotten.

Wikipedia gives exactly the same size for Krk and Cres (405.78km²). Is there a reason not to include it? Just thought it was an interesting coincidence.

Add Krk too, most websites say that is the largest island in Croatia. Krk and Cres are fairly close to the same size, too.

Because that's another transliteration of Λέσβος. The letter β now makes a sound closer to a "v" than a "b".

"Bicos ded" is how it is pronounced, doesnt necessarily means that is how it is written. (It might though, but as it is, that argument is flawed, pronunciation does not dictate spelling)

Until I saw the name Minorca, I have never realised that "maj" in Majorca comes from "big", as it's the largest of the Balearics.

I got all the often guessed ones besides rhodes :/ And I expected kos/cos to be on there. I havent heard of most if not all of the lower ones, I know crete, corfu, lesbos, cos, (and rhodes). Apparently it is just below 300 km² much smaller than euboea and chios, but I never heard of those...
