A map of the Mediterranean comes in handy for today's Geo Quiz. We're searching for the 3 largest islands in the Mediterranean.
In order.
Here are some candidates: Let's see: there's Cyprus, Rhodes and Corfu in the eastern Mediterranean.
Sicily, Corsica and Malta lie in the central region. And there's Majorca and Minorca in the western reaches. But we want the three biggest islands.
The largest has 5 million inhabitants and it's an autonomous region of Italy.
It's famous for its lemons, olives, almonds, and wine. The second largest is also part of Italy...so islanders mostly speak Italian, Catalan and one other language named after the island itself.
Greek and Turkish are spoken on the third largest island we're looking for...and this one has the distinction of being an independent state.
In fact, it has a team competing at the Olympics.
We'll name the 3 largest Mediterranean islands IN ORDER...
