contents For a polygon $P$ with holes in the plane, we denote by $\varrho(P)$ the ratio between the geodesic and the Euclidean diameters of $P$. It is shown that over all convex polygons with $h$~convex holes, the supremum of $\varrho(P)$ is between $Ω(h^{1/3})$ and $O(h^{1/2})$. The upper bound improves to $\varrho(P)\leq O(1+\min\{h^{3/4}Δ,h^{1/2}Δ^{1/2}\})$ if the Euclidean diameter of every hole is most $Δ$ times the Euclidean diameter of $P$; and to $O(1)$ if every hole is a \emph{fat} convex polygon. Furthermore, we show that the function $g(h)=\sup_P \varrho(P)$ over convex polygons with $h$ convex holes has the same growth rate as an analogous quantity over geometric triangulations with $h$ vertices when $h\rightarrow \infty$.
