Mediterranean Sea

A selection of pictures and photos relating to the Mediterranean Sea - from Greece to Italy, to France and Spain the Mediterranean touches many countries with its deep blue waters, abundant fishery and leisure opportunities.

A branch of the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea is almost completely enclosed by land with only a relatively small opening of 14km between Spain and Africa called the Strait of Gibraltar. It is also connected to the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea on its eastern shores.

The Mediterranean Sea was a crucial key to the development of the today's modern societies. It served as an important body of water for merchants and travellers as a highway, which allowed for the all important trade as well as colonization and war, and cultural exchanges.
