Spartans did not trade with anyone due to the fact that outsiders were not allowed inside their city-states. Also, insiders were not allowed out.
No the Athens and Sparta didnÍt trade. They both had different cultures and governments but both had power over Greece. The Athens had free speaking and democracy and smaller city-states to form a more powerful rule. The Sparta had a strong military and lots of land.
Athens has more geographic advantages than Sparta. Its location near the sea allowed for easy access to trade routes and resources, while its natural defense provided protection against invaders. Sparta, on the other hand, was located inland and surrounded by mountains, making it less advantageous geographically.

While Athenian economy had depended on trade, Sparta's economy had relied upon farming and on conquering other people.
only the Athens the Spartans had no trade (they were a milatary place)i got this from my text book
Sparta only focused on strength reading writing if this had nothing to due with a good military they wouldn`t be there. Athens though was about the Arts so building writing Darma and such was more there focus
Sparta had seized the land of the southern Peloponnese peninsula and turned its people into serfs who gave half their produce to Sparta, which allowed them to concentrate on military training to be able to protect their city-state. Athenians had to farm their own land or make a living through fishing, trade etc, and do their military training in their spare time.
Athens was located in Attica, close to the sea, which enabled it to develop a strong navy and excel in trade. Sparta, on the other hand, was located in the region of Laconia, further inland and surrounded by mountains, which contributed to its focus on land-based military strength and agriculture. Overall, Athens had better access to the sea, while Sparta was more secluded and land-oriented.
Athens used the power of its empire to intervene in the affairs of the southern Greek cities in the Peloponnesian Peninsula and their colonies. These incursions were principally in Corcyra and Potidaea and finally its trade rival Megara which Athens set out to bankrupt. The Peloponnesian League, led by Sparta, of which Megara was a member, demanded that Athens cease this; Athens refused and war broke out.
The lack of trade and travel likely isolated Sparta from external cultural influences, which could have reinforced their traditional values and practices. Economically, limited trade may have hindered the development of a diverse economy, potentially making Sparta more reliant on agriculture and local resources.
Athens had more shipbuilders than Sparta due to its focus on naval power and trade. As a leading maritime city-state, Athens invested heavily in its navy, especially during the Persian Wars, leading to the construction of advanced triremes. In contrast, Sparta prioritized its land-based military and focused on infantry training, resulting in minimal naval development. Thus, Athens was the clear leader in shipbuilding.
