Greece was also by the sea with many natural harbors. The first Greek civilization was that of the Minoans on the island of Crete just south of Greece. First, they had a large fleet, which was useful for both trade and defense, enough to let another people, the Mycenaean Greeks eventually take over around 1450 B.C.E.

Their palaces, like Knossos, feature complex storage facilities for trade goods rather than fortifications for defense, suggesting a focus on economic prosperity over military strength.
