Isn't Singapore linked to Indonesia. If so, it should not be co sidered an island for thr very definition of island is "a portion of land surrounded by sea in all directions".

There are no bridges that directly link Sri Lanka and India. At one point it looks like there may have been, but currently there's no way to drive between the two countries on roads. However, your point remains: bridges don't change the status of an island to a peninsula. If it was a peninsula, you wouldn't need a bridge to get there in the first place.

Well, I agree with CartoJuggernaut, silly Europe thinking it's a separate continent.

I'm interested to know whether you all think Rhodes is a part of Europe or Asia? It's in Greece (at the moment) but clearly closer to the Asian mainland...

I've been to Rhodes but I wouldn't say I've been to Asia. Rhodes is definitely part of Greece. You may be able to see the Turkish coastline from Rhodes City on a clear day but that's it. I mean you can see Asia from the European side of Istanbul, too. I'm not sure where exactly the border of Europe/Asia lies on the water but probably somewhere around the edge of the Agean Sea and the Levantine Sea which places Rhodes in Europe and Cyprus in Asia GEOGRAPHICALLY.

Rhodes is clearly geographically in Asia too, along with many other Greek islands. Just as Lampedusa (Italian island) is in Africa along with Madeira (Portuguese) and the Canary Islands (Spanish).

guys...Cyprus isn't included in the EU. Cyprus is also closer to Asian Turkey, Lebanon, Israel and Syria than it is to Greece...

to be brief on the Cyprus debate...

(in my opinion, Cyprus is European as Cypriots are ethically from Greece or UK, its for debate though...)

The entire debate about Cyprus being i Europe or Asia could be easily resolved if the geographical boundaries of the world were respected. Geographically Europe and Asia are ONE Continent, separated because of political and ethnic prejudices. .

IS this for real? Politically and Culturally, Cyprus identifies more with Europe, in terms of geography and its location, it is in Asia. There shouldn't be a big argument. As for northern cyprus, Only Turkey recognizes it and it doesn't receive any international support.

But anyways, Cyprus is in Asia in terms for location, even though in EU, and if it wasn't for greece cyprus wouldn't be in EU

Of course! Asia is not prestigious as Europe and besides your a member of EU too!

Unfortunately though, we are talking about geography. Unless, EU can pull you out a little closer to Greece.

Yes, United States, Chile, France, Egypt, Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, Cyprus, Spain, Portugal, Indonesia, and Japan are all transcontinental countries and I believe they should be included on the quizzes of every continent they are located on. Panama could also be considered a transcontinental country based on where you draw the border between the Americas.

Because that's just how borders work, Papua is split down the middle, Indo-PNG border - Asia/ Oceania border. There has to be a change somewhere, and PNG are mainly associated and associate themselves as an Oceanian nation.

"Cyprus is in the EU, so it's in Europe."

By that logic, Switzerland, Macedonia, Serbia etc. are not in Europe.

Culturally European? Yeah, well, Canada and the USA are culturally European, yet nobody says they're European nations.

Exclusion from the EU does not mean the country is not European. Classification for countries usually derive from demographics as well as cultural, historic, and political history. Not so much geographically however (see Trinidad and Tobago, Iceland, and Palau closest continents). However the EU is not the only European-only organization that Cyprus is included. Like the Council of Europe or the European Court of Human Rights for examples. But Cyprus can go either way.

East Timor lies closer to Australia then the Asian continent but is not included into the Australian continent because of 'cultural reasons.' But when people want to include Cyprus into Europe people start to say "But Cyprus lies closer to the Asian continent even if it is cultural closer to Europe it should be counted as Asian." This is kind of ridiculous and Cyprus should be include into Europe on this site. It is include into Europe by most if not every international organization.

It's not an Island itself, but it's on an Island. Saw the argument on the 'Island Nations of the World' quiz that those countries can't be entirely on islands as they border Malaysia which isn't an answer. But it's a different part of Malaysia which borders mainland Asia. Borneo is an island which contains Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei.

My take on the Cyprus topic, which I haven't seen anyone mention and it's a bit disappointing. Cyprus is a country of hellenic background, which is the culture that is literally the cradle of western civilisation and what shaped Europe, and it's always been considered Europe by Europeans, now a bunch of Americans have recently discovered the island on a map and have decided that it belongs to Asia? Whatever, I got all 10 answers.
