Yes, though not in large numbers and probably not all the year round. The Great White Shark is resident in the Mediterranean, but there is no reliable data as to its numbers. As late as the end of the 19th Century it was relatively common off the coast of Italy, Greece and modern-day Croatia but sightings are now extremely rare. Occasionally these sharks are caught in fisherman's nets, but again instances of this are becoming fewer.
Documented attacks in Turkish waters are very few, less than a handful over the last 100 years.
As well as Great Whites, there are other smaller but potentially dangerous sharks in the Mediterranean but these live in deep water and rarely venture close to the shore.
The greatest risk of encountering sharks in the Mediterranean is in deep water close to shore i.e where the depth drops quickly or suddenly. As a general rule in the Med if you are in depth you are safe - this rule does not apply in other warm water seas where Bull Sharks are present. This species - which is absent from the Med - has been known to attack in just 18 inches of water and to inhabit river estuaries and inland fresh water lakes

Are there sharks in bora bora?
Yes. Smaller reef sharks inside the reef and larger sharks in deeper waters outside the lagoon. Smaller varieties not generally dangerous - I have been in the water with sharks inside and outside the reefs and never any issues. There are Tiger sharks in the deeper waters around the islands and they can be dangerous. Don't swim at dawn or dusk or near a river mouth and your risk is almost nil - about the same as a lightning strike. Don't miss the beauty of these waters over a long shot like that.
