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.)
What cultural ties united the greek world-?
