With its highly indented shoreline and numerous islands, what is the recorded length of Greece's national coastline in kilometres?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 13,676 km
- Step 1: Its highly indented coastline and numerous islands give Greece the 11th longest national coastline in the world, with 13,676 km (8,498 mi); its land boundary is 1,160 km (721 mi). Answer: 13,676 km. Why not the others: The other figures are either substantially too short or inflated compared to Greece's official coastline length.
