The Levantine Sea

The Levantine Sea is a part of the eastern Mediterranean Ocean, bordered by countries like Lebanon, Syria, Israel, and Turkey. It extends from the Gaza Strip in the south to the north near Turkey, covering roughly 165,000 square kilometers. Known for its deep waters and important maritime routes, it connects to the broader Mediterranean and the Atlantic via the Strait of Gibraltar. The sea features diverse marine life, coastal cities, and historical sites, making it significant for ecological, economic, and cultural reasons. Its unique position influences regional climate and ocean currents in the eastern Mediterranean region.
