List Of Mediterranean Countries
The Mediterranean countries are those that surround the Mediterranean Sea or located within the Mediterranean Basin.
Twenty sovereign countries in Southern Europe, Western Asia and North Africa regions border the sea itself, two island nations completely located in it (Malta and Cyprus), in addition to two British Overseas Territories (Gibraltar in the west and Akrotiri & Dhekelia in the east).
While not having a coastline in the Mediterranean, Portugal, Andorra, San Marino, Vatican City, Kosovo, Serbia, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Romania, and Jordan are located within the Mediterranean Basin and are often included on the list of Mediterranean countries. Such classification is mostly based on their geographical, economic, geopolitical, historical, ethnic and cultural (language, art, music, cuisine) ties to the region as a whole. Other factors include climate and flora.
