Explanation
The Adriatic Sea is the body of water separating the Italian Peninsula from the Balkan Peninsula. The countries that border the Adriatic Sea are Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Albania.
- Albania shares a coastline with the Adriatic Sea in its northern part.
- Bosnia and Herzegovina has a very small coastline of about 20 kilometers at the town of Neum, which opens into the Adriatic.
- Croatia has a long, prominent coastline along the Adriatic Sea, featuring numerous islands.
