How did the geography of Greece differ from that of other ancient civilizations?

Greece was mountainous, and thus less than 20% of its land could be farmed for grains, although its climate was perfect for growing grapes (for wine), and olives (for olive oil).
In the Fertile Crescent and Egypt, it was hot and dry, but the land was flat. Major rivers in the Fertile Crescent provided for peoples' irrigation needs, and the Nile River also provided water and fertile soil because of its annual floods. These areas could easily grow surplus grain.

The geography of Greece differed in several ways from that of other ancient civilizations. Unlike civilizations in Mesopotamia and Egypt, which were located in river valleys, Greece was a mountainous region with many small, independent city-states. This geography encouraged the development of a decentralized political system and a high degree of autonomy for each city-state. Greece also had a large number of islands, which fostered a seafaring culture and facilitated trade and contact with other cultures.
