Greeks are considered good sailors due to their maritime culture that dates back centuries, their geographical proximity to the sea, and their historical importance in naval trade and exploration. The Greeks have a long tradition of seafaring skills and knowledge that have been passed down through generations.

Geography influences all nations. Greece includes mainland Greece (part of the Eurasian continent) and a whole lot of islands (known as the Grecian Archepelago) The Greeks became very good sailors because of the need to get from island to island and anywhere else. The British became very good sailors for the same reason. The Greeks -at least the Athenians-valued knowledge and education. Many royal and aristocratic households all over the ancient world had Greek tutors for their children.
