Question

Which island is alderny?

Answer 1

Wikipedia:

Alderney (French: Aurigny; Auregnais: Aoeur'gny) is the most northerly of the Channel Islands and a British Crown dependency. It is part of the Bailiwick of Guernsey. It is 3 miles (5 km) long and 1.5 miles (2.5 km) wide. The area is three square miles (8 sq.km), making it the third largest island of the Channel Islands, and the second largest in the Bailiwick. It is around ten miles (16 km) to the west of La Hague in the Cotentin Peninsula, Normandy, in France, twenty miles (32 km) to the north-east of Guernsey and sixty miles (97 km) from the south coast of England. It is the closest of the Channel Islands to France as well as being the closest to England. It is separated from Cap de la Hague by the dangerous Race of Alderney (Le Raz).

The island has a population of 2400 people, and they are traditionally nicknamed vaques[1] after the cows, or else lapins[2] after the many rabbits seen in the island. The only parish of Alderney is the parish of St Anne which covers the whole island.

The main town ('La Ville' or simply 'Town' in English) is often erroneously referred to as 'St Annes' (or less inaccurately: 'St Anne'). It features an imposing, pretty church and unevenly cobbled high street. There is a primary school, a secondary school, and a post office as well as hotels, restaurants, banks and shops. Alderney is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful of the Channel Islands.

It seems pretty nice.I'd like to visit it even though it's far from Greece!!!

Answer 2

Alderney is one of the Channel Islands. I think it is partly autonomous, and partly joins up with Guernsey to form a "bailiwick", or whatever they call it.

Alderney is not as well known as the other Channel Islands - I guess that's because it's a bit of a step-child of the tourism industry. It is a rather small island (about the size of Sark), so it's not as popular with long-stay tourists as Jersey and Guernsey; and since it's far further away from Guernsey than either Herm or Sark, it's not that popular with day-trippers either.

Therefore, as a tourist, you are far more likely to visit one of the other four islands I mentioned before you'll ever get the chance to see Alderney.

It's one of the Channel Islands off the coast of France.  Nowhere near Greece.
