Mediterranean Sea Depth: Average and Deepest Points

The Mediterranean Sea has an average depth of about 1,500 meters (4,900 feet). Its deepest point is the Calypso Deep in the Ionian Sea, plunging to 5,267 meters (17,280 feet). The sea's complex bathymetry includes numerous sub-basins, ridges, and seamounts, shaped by the ongoing collision of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates.
