The Flores Sea covers 240,000 square kilometres (93,000 sq mi) of water in Indonesia.
Geography
The seas that border the Flores Sea are the Bali Sea (to the west), Java Sea (to the northwest), and the Banda Sea (to the east and northeast).
The Indian Ocean and Savu Sea lie to the south, but are separated from the Flores Sea by various islands.
