Mediterranean Music - Based on which scales ?

I want to start composing music that sounds mediterranean-like, like the music that one associates with Italy, Spain, Greece etc.

My Problem is, I know the Western Music Scales, like the modes of the major scale and so on, as well as harmonic minor, meldoic minor, bebop scale, blues scale, pentatonic scales, diminished, w-h-scale, h-w-scale, etc. but with none of them I get a mediterranean sound. So what scales are used in mediterranean music ? I can't find anything about mediterranean music scales on the internet and as long as I don't know which scales give the mediterranean feel, I cannot compose mediterranean music. So please help.

Or the Latin-Music, I also like that sound, what scales do they use ?

try the phrygian, lydian, and mixolydian modes.

Or you could try variations on the Arabic scale. In the key of C, you'd have C-Db-E-F-G-Ab-B; you could also alternatively mix it with mixolydian, creating C-Db-E-F-G-A-Bb. That early "harmonic minor" C-Db-E sequence is what makes the scale. It can be very Spanish- or Arabian-sounding, depending on how you use it. Note especially that the supertonic chord is actually a Neapolitan chord, and can often act as a neighbor to the tonic. The subtonic chord is minor. The dominant can be diminished, though it's not common.
