The border town of Ovsyuky, is the most northernmost point of Vinalia, on the border with Chistovodia. Another border town Pryvitne held the title of northernmost point from 1895-1915 until it was discovered that wrong measurements had given Pryvitne an edge over Ovsyuky, new measurements in 1916 cemented Ovsyuky as the northernmost point in Vinalia, a title they had held prior to 1895 before it was granted to Pryvitne. A monument stands on the northernmost point in the border.
Southernmost point
The southernmost point of Vinalia is Cape Hastronomchyk, a monument and lighthouse built in 1915 celebrate this point. Cape Hastronomchyk has become a celebrated tourist attraction mainly as a result of Vinalian literary works which depict the Cape on their stories, Ikal Peruski most famously used the Cape as the setting for his short story "Riveting Snakes" which he published in 1960, while in exile. The story is credited with creating tourist interest in the region, which has lead to economic growth in the cape, the region has become a popular hotspot for retirees who come to visit the beaches of the cape.

The easternmost point of continental Vinalia is Sanpura on the border with Chistovodia. A monument celebrate this fact, although the monument is maintained by the local community as the Ministry of Interior does not maintain accurate readings on continental extreme points, rather just maintaining overall extreme points. The easternmost point of Vinalia is Point Yosyp on the island of Buhayi off Apostola in the East Arucian Sea. Although erosion has removed the 5 meter land bridge between Apostola and the now separated island, a monument exists on Apostola celebrating the easternmost point of Vinalia located about 108 meters from the proper easternmost point.
Westernmost point
The westernmost point of Vinalia, is the so called Ditkivtsi point on the border with Marchenia, which is Vinalias westernmost point by a map error which accidentally gave Vinalia a 500 meter section that extends from the straight border that had been agreed between Marchenia and Soravia after the recognition of Marchenian independence by Soravia. Although no monument exists do to the desolation and remoteness of the region, a makeshift stone monument has been made by Extreme sports practitioners.
Highest point

Vinalias highest point is that of Mount Vulna Volcano at 4,220 m (13,845 ft). Although Telecommunications equipment has been built at the top of the inactive volcano, the Ministry of the Interior does not include this figures when it comes to its list of Vinalian extreme points, as they're man made structure. The height of Mount Vulna has differed as a result of differing methods of calculation and accuracy throughout the years, but the Ministry of Interior sets the height at 4220 m (13,845 ft) following a 1999 study which determined the height of the mount at that level.
Lowest point
Vinalias lowest point is that of the Mertre point -34 m (−112 ft) below sea level which is located inside the Cherisok depression inside the Tziran desert. Similar to Ditkivtsi point, no monument exists on Mertre point officially maintained, although unofficial makeshift stone monuments exist. Mertre points lowest point was at -35m (-114 ft) below sea level in 1989, although sources claim it could had been as low as -45 (-147 ft) below sea level in 1916, but the accuracy of such claims has been questioned in recent times. Scientists believe that Mertre point has gained height as a result of the shifting soil in the region as a result of geographic movements.
