Canary Islands, Orkney, and Crete: Each Belongs to a Different Country
No single country claims all three. Each archipelago/island is an integral part of a different sovereign state:
- Canary Islands → Spain (autonomous community, off NW Africa).
- Orkney Islands → Scotland (part of UK, north of mainland Scotland).
- Crete → Greece (largest Greek island, southern Aegean).
They are not disputed territories; each is firmly under the administration of its respective nation.
