The country is generally poor agriculturally, and settlement was confined to fertile river valleys and coastal plains.
The geography of Greece influenced where people settled and what they did. Greece's geographic features influenced where people lived because of the high and many mountains made it hard to travel.
Greece was slowly settled by people from modern-day Europe. Some people came from Asia Minor on boats and settled Crete.
The rugged terrain of Greece, with mountains and islands, led people to settle in coastal areas that were more suitable for agriculture and trade. The sea also played a crucial role in the economy, as Greeks became skilled sailors and established colonies. As a result, Greek society developed around city-states that were independent and focused on maritime trade and agriculture.
In Greece when lots of people traded, different citys/states got more of what they needed and it caused different food / things people neded.
