There are really two questions here:
1) Why did people not travel from one region to another nearby region in Ancient Greece? -- As concerns Ancient Greece, this is just false. Ancient Greeks often traveled from city-state to city-state to perform trade, commerce, or tourism. However, this travel was mainly over water because land routes were difficult to travail due to the hilly and mountainous land in Greece.
2) What effect did this have? -- As concerns Ancient Greece, since people did often travel, this is a non-starter as a question. However, because of the prevalence of strong navies, the difficulty of land travel, and the presence of many invasion choke-points (the most famous being Thermopylae), the Greek city-states were never completely unified until Alexander the great conquered them all. (Sparta did defeat Athens in the Peloponnesian War, but only held onto that victory for a very short time. In addition, Sparta never expanded its power into Boetia or over the Cycladic Islands - which would have been the next logical places to expand.)
The Minoans actually lived in ancient Greece, on an island called Crete. They were wiped out due to a volcanic eruption on a nearby island, which resulted in a huge tsunami that killed most of the Minoans. They were not considered Greek because they did not speak Greek. The first "true" Greeks were the Myceneans.
They were very violent games, with a lot of naked men (no women nearby by law) and as ideas about conduct changed, the ancient Olympics lost popularity.
Pompeii was buried by volcanic ash during an eruption of the nearby Mount Vesuvius.

To my knowledge, there is no other name for the Aztecs. The were simply another ancient civilization that inhabited Central America. Do not confuse them with a nearby civilization, the Mayas, or the Incas, who inhabited much of South America.
The city in Greece named after Hercules is Heraklion, which is the capital of the island of Crete. The name "Heraklion" is derived from "Heracles," the Greek name for Hercules, reflecting the ancient myths associated with the hero. The city has a rich history and is known for its archaeological sites, including the nearby Minoan palace of Knossos.
The Parthenon, Erectheum, Temple of Hephaestus at Athens, and Temple of Poseidon nearby at Sunion. If you can travel further afield try the temples at Delphi and Epicurus. Not much left of the temple of Zeus at Olympia.
Close.
A city-state is simply a city that controls some of the nearby countryside as an independent country. City-states were common in mountainous or hilly areas, like Ancient Greece or Switzerland, where it was difficult for one conqueror to simply create a larger empire using military force.Most of the major cities of Ancient Greece were city-states for just this reason. The most famous include: Mycenae, Athens, Sparta, Thebes, Argos, Megara, Corinth, Pylos, Delphi, and Boetia.
No; Turkey is an ancient country which is still surprisingly in existence and can be found on a world atlas map, even though it is said to be "ancient". It is a country that can be found in Northeast Europe, nearby Portugal, Spain, Greece, and the Germanic-speaking (countries that speak some form of the German language) countries such as Germany and Poland.
