what are the main mediterranean countries of Europe ?

Question

could portugal be included ?

Answer 1

While Portugal is not on the Mediterranean Sea, it does have many things in common with many of the Mediterranean countries: Spain, Italy, Greece, Albania, France, Croatia, Montenegro, Cyprus. Some of the other European countries with Mediterranean coastlines are Slovenia, Monaco, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Malta, and Turkey (Turkey has lands in both Asia and Europe).

Portugal has a similar climate to Spain, Italy, and Greece, mostly because of its latitude and coastal links. Like Spain, Italy, and Greece, it has a strong culture of seafaring and fishing and maritime trade. It also has a common linguistic root to the western Mediterranean languages: Spanish, French, and Italian (the Romance languages, derives from Latin) and religion (Roman Catholicism is predominant).

So while Portugal isn't on the Mediterranean Sea (to be considered a Mediterranean country), you can definitely say that it belongs with the countries of Southern Europe (which covers many of the countries that it is most like culturally - Spain, Italy, etc.)

I'm doing this from the top of my head. Did I leave any country out? Sorry.
No, technically Portugal is not a Mediterranean country.

Answer 5

Don't think Portugal count, since it faces the Atlantic ocean, not the Mediterranean sea.

I think the complete list is Spain, United Kingdom (because of Gibraltar !!!), France, Monaco, Italy, Slovenia (very little coastline), Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina (very little coastline since all the place is taken by Croatia), Albania, Greece, Cyprus, Malta. Add Turkey if you consider it as a European country.

"Main mediterranean countries" : it depends on what you call "main". If it's the larger by area, restrict to Spain, France, Italy, and Greece.
