The '''Mediterranean Sea''' is a body of salt water that is almost completely enclosed by land. Its name ("in the middle of land") reflects this. To the north is [[Europe]], to the east is [[Asia]] and to the south is [[Africa]]. The only outlets to other bodies of water are the [[Strait of Gibraltar]] at the western end, to the [[Atlantic Ocean]], and the [[Dardanelles]] which lead ultimately to the [[Black Sea]]. Parts of the Mediterranean have their own names, such as the [[Adriatic Sea]] and the [[Aegean Sea]]. Countries that border onto the Mediterranean include: '''Europe:''' [[Spain]], [[France]], [[Italy]], [[Greece]] '''Asia:''' [[Turkey (country)|Turkey]], [[Syria]], [[Lebanon]], [[Israel]] '''Africa:''' [[Egypt]], [[Libya]], [[Tunisia]], [[Algeria]], [[Morocco]] [[category:Geography]]
