    "Twenty-one modern states have a coastline on the Mediterranean Sea. They are:
    * Europe (from west to east): Spain, France, Monaco, Italy, Malta, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Greece,
    * Asia (from north to south): Turkey, Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, and Israel.
    * Africa (from east to west): Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco.

    Turkey sits mainly in Asia and partially in Europe. Egypt is mainly in Africa but its Sinai peninsula lies in Asia.

    Several other territories also border the Mediterranean Sea (from west to east):
    * The British overseas territory of Gibraltar
    * The Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla and nearby islands
    * The British sovereign base area of Akrotiri and Dhekelia
    * The Palestinian National Authority
