Greece is a mountainous peninsula, with several surrounding islands, located in and around the Aegean Sea. It has lots of natural harbors. The rivers are not very useful for trade, since they slow down significantly during certain times of the year. The most plentiful useful natural resource was timber. The combination of these factors led the Greeks to become expert shipbuilders, and to use the sea to make their living.
The mountainous terrain led to localism and divisions (the creation of city-states), and served as a barrier to the unification of Greece.
Greeks tended to settle either in the pockets of arable (farmable) land, attempting to earn their living off the soil in spite of the mountainous terrain, or near harbors that could be useful in trading.

∙ 13y agoThe people of Greece do not have many areas they can farm. They mainly grow olives and grapes because grain does not grow well there. The land is rocky and hilly. So the Greeks became good sailors and visited other lands. In ancient Greece the land's rockyness separated the city-states.
