Curious as to the cutoff point? Kythira is so close to Kos in size, seems like it would've been included, and then the cutoff could have been 100 sqmi.

Level 76

Maybe because Jetpunk's default quiz size is 15 answers?

Actually when you make a quiz you choose how many questions you want. I suppose 15 is an easy multiple, most quizzes are 10/15/20 etc it makes a good cut off point.

There are not 15 answers! This quiz has 16.

Obviously, this had been changed in between the original post and your answer.

@Malbaby 15 is the default when you make a quiz.

Love this quiz :P I've been to Lemnos and kos and only missed karpathos

Please accept evia for euboea (the most counter-intuitive name version for any Greek speaker). The Greek name "εύβοια" is never displayed as euboea in local signs or so.

Level ∞

Evia will work now

Made me count

Level 51

Apr 15, 2016

Could you please accept Limnos? I kept typing it in, and it was not accepted. When I checked it afterwards, my Google map actually spells it that way.

Level 74

Apr 18, 2016

I had transliteration problems... I know them all, but only the Greek names ("lesvos", "evia", etc.)

@ct

I agree with ct - could not for the life of me find a way to spell that. Evia is definitely the way it's pronounced and written

Here, it is spelled "Cephalonia" but here, (https://www.jetpunk.com/quizzes/biggest-mediterranean-islands-quiz) it is spelled "Kefalonia". Which one is correct?

Level 75

Jan 11, 2019

Cephalonia is a more "archaic" spelling coming from french where "K" is transliterated as "C" and "Φ" as "ph" whereas Kefalonia is the modern simplified english version.

More people know about lesbos than rhodes?

Level 77

Nov 7, 2018

It has been in the news for several years now so, it makes sense that more people today have heard of Lesvos than Rhodes.

Of course I've heard of both.

Lesbians duh

I got two, heh... And I only got Rhodes because my state was (maybe) named after it!

Level 72

Mar 13, 2020

It wasn't it (I actually closed some tabs about that very subject yesterday, with some nice old maps) means red island, from the old dutch roode eylant. (in current dutch rode eiland or (rood eiland)). It was referring just to Aquidneck island, not the mainland.

|Edit: Been diving into the maps again, the oldest one I can find is Novi Belgii.. from 1655.

Level 81

Jan 7, 2019

My high score is 6. I've only been to one Greek island and it's not on this list.

Level 73

Jan 7, 2019

Could you please give the areas in square kilometers and not square miles, like it says in the table? That would really help.

Level 84

Mar 13, 2024

Would it actually help? There are answers you didn't get which you would have if given square kilometers instead?

Level 74

Jan 7, 2019

You probably should accept Levkas for Lefkada

Level 75

Jan 11, 2019

Really surprised that enough people took this quiz in order for it to award points. Most people have no knowledge of Greece aside from the Parthenon and the debt crisis. Perhaps they thought it was going to be Crete and a couple others. The percentages suggest I'm probably right.

Missed euboea

Actually area is shown in square miles

Level 77

Still shown in square miles but header says km

weird how the order of known ones hardly has any resamblance to the order of their size. I missed rhodes (always slips my mind) but I know the 5 most guessed, none of the other looked really familiar, lemnos and andros do slightly but could be from something else.

Perhaps lemnos from something with mythology and andros just because it is like an often used suffix. Or maybe for lemnos I am influenced by lemniscate, or maybe the elvenbread I can never remember but feel like it might be similar.

Only got Crete :(

I knew most of these from playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Pretty fun quiz

Why does hardly anyone know Euboea?

Level 48

Oct 31, 2024

its large but not very popular, everyone knows Crete, Rhodes is highly known for historical relevance and lesbos has been popular in modern day media
