What Seas Surround the Italian Peninsula?

The Italian Peninsula is bordered by three seas (all part of the Mediterranean):

• Tyrrhenian Sea — West (Rome, Naples, Sardinia)
• Adriatic Sea — East (Venice, Bari, Croatia opposite)
• Ionian Sea — South (Calabria, Sicily, Greece opposite)

The Ligurian Sea (NW) borders Liguria but lies north of the peninsula proper. The Strait of Sicily connects the Tyrrhenian and Ionian between Sicily and Tunisia. No fourth sea directly surrounds the peninsula.
