Southern Europe
Southern Europe is a region of Europe. It is also known as Mediterranean Europe, after the bordering sea, the Mediterranean Sea.
It has no precise definition but is generally taken to consist of:
- The Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal, Andorra)
- The Balkans (Albania, Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece)
Sometimes, Monaco is also included in Southern Europe since it is located on the Cote d'Azur or the French Riviera on the Mediterranean Sea.
