The Mediterranean Sea belongs to the Atlantic Ocean. Its area is 2500 km², and the depth reaches 5121 meters. This is one of the largest seas that tourists love to visit. Fortunately, many countries are washed by Mediterranean waters.
The Mediterranean Sea is called “the sea among the land”, and it is no coincidence. It is located between three continents - Africa, Asia and Europe. Its shores have been densely populated since time immemorial. Over a long history, one state was replaced by another. Today the Mediterranean Sea is washed by the coastal lines of 22 states. This is a very unique feature of the Mediterranean.
In Europe, you can swim in the purest water, enjoy pebble and sandy beaches in France, Italy, Spain, Slovenia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, Croatia, Montenegro, as well as in Malta and Monaco. In these countries, tourism is very developed precisely due to the fact that people can visit the Mediterranean coasts.
Among African countries, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria have long coastlines. The unique landscape, mild climate, peculiar architecture favorably distinguish the African coast, where travelers from all over the world like to rest.
The Mediterranean coast of Turkey, Israel, Syria and Lebanon combines gentle sun, warm water and subtle oriental sophistication. The Republic of Cyprus, which is washed on three sides by the Mediterranean Sea, is worth a separate mention.
The Mediterranean has united numerous peoples. Various cultures and traditions are intricately intertwined here.
