Which sea did the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World mostly surround?

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World mostly surrounded the Mediterranean Sea.

The traditional list was created in the Greek-speaking world to identify remarkable sights known to travelers. Six wonders stood in regions around the eastern Mediterranean: the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia and the Great Pyramid of Giza.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were the major exception, being located farther east in Mesopotamia according to the traditional account. Their historical existence and exact location remain debated, unlike the surviving Great Pyramid, whose identity and location are certain.

The list reflects ancient travel routes, not a worldwide survey. Greek writers had limited knowledge of distant regions, so the wonders were concentrated within the cultural and commercial horizon of the Hellenistic Mediterranean.
