I read somewhere that we can not measure the length of the Adriatic Coast because it has fractal structure. I want some concrete explanation for the fractal structure

Adriatic Coast cannot be a perfect fractal: It's kind of a fractal-like structure. You can read about fractals here. Simply, fractals are self-similar infinitely repeating structures.
