And there’s no surprise in that, for centuries, the Med has been a place of interests thanks to its strategic geography, and it has always been one of the cradles of civilization with a rich natural and cultural heritage from the times when the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and Arabs all fought for control over it -- and Who wouldn't be competitive when it comes to owning a piece of heaven?
The Mediterranean is so famous by its typical climate, hot dry summers with abundant sunshine, rainy topical winters and Breezy soft Springs, and that’s what made the region very rich with natural resources, crops and Animal Species, and some of them are so rare and unique that they only exist in that part of the world. (20% of all marine species can only be found in this basin).
