The chain of Caribbean islands is commonly referred to as the "Antilles." It is divided into two main groups: the Greater Antilles, which includes larger islands like Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico, and the Lesser Antilles, which consists of smaller islands stretching from the Virgin Islands down to Trinidad and Tobago.
