Many Greeks became sailors and traded with other people.
Greece
The limited fertile land in Greece, primarily confined to small valleys and coastal plains due to the mountainous terrain, compelled the Greeks to adopt a lifestyle centered around agriculture and trade. They cultivated essential crops like olives and grapes, which thrived in the region's climate. Additionally, the scarcity of arable land encouraged the Greeks to engage in maritime trade and establish colonies, allowing them to access resources and expand their economic opportunities. This reliance on trade and agriculture shaped their culture and society significantly.
Greece was mountainous so it was difficult to farm though i know they were able to plant grapes. They were able to farm on very little land. If you want a more specific answer you should search it on google, you'll probably find a page about greece there. Hope this helped :)
Take a look at ancient Greece on a map. There are many islands and much coastland. Travel by water is much faster than by land. The ancient Greeks traded with many people all around the Mediterranean.
The land mass of Greece is for the greatest part (80%) covered by mountains. Greece has over 2,000 mostly very small islands: only some 170 are inhabited. Greece is situated on the boundaries of two tectonic plates that move in different directions, making Greece the victim of numerous earthquakes and sometimes tsunamis over the past 2,500 years.
The Ancient Greeks traveled by the sea because the land was to mountainous to travel by foot. The Ancient Greeks traveled by foot, cart, chariot and ship.
Greece is a mountainous land framed by water.
Greece
The land in Greece is 80% Mountains and hills, making it one of the most mountainous countries in Europe.
There are lowland areas, mostly by the sea, but most of Greece is hilly or mountainous.
Yes, the Greeks did colonize present day Spain. They ruled the area in the 8th through 6th centuries BC.
The mountainous terrain of Greece led to the development of independent city-states due to the natural barriers it provided. The mild climate and access to the sea encouraged trade and exploration, leading to the development of a maritime culture. Additionally, the lack of fertile land pushed Greeks to establish colonies around the Mediterranean, spreading their influence.
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.
The land in Greece is not the greatest for farming. So some Greeks settled in other lands to farm and trade.
