Answer: A peninsula is a piece of land that is surrounded by water on three sides. An example of a peninsula is the Arabian Peninsula in Saudi Arabia. This peninsula boarders the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, Gulf of Oman and Persian Gulf. That seems like a lot of bodies of water but they only surround 3 sides of the peninsula.
An isthmus is a narrow strip of land connecting two larger land areas, usually with water on either side. A peninsula is a piece of land that is almost surrounded by water but connected to mainland. So a peninsula is often defined as land surrounded by water on three sides.
