Detailed explanation-1: -The climate was generally mild. Most Greeks lived along the coast, with its many excellent harbors. Because of its hilly terrain, parts of Greece-especially Athens-came to depend on trade.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ancient Greece’s Climate Much like modern-day Greece, Ancient Greece had hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. In fact, Greece is famous for its Mediterranean climate. This climate is located between about 30° and 45° latitude north and south of the Equator and on the western sides of the continents.
Detailed explanation-3: -Scholars have long assumed the climate of ancient Greece (1st millennium BC) to have been broadly similar to today’s mild Mediterranean climate of long, hot summers, and short, relatively mild winters.
Detailed explanation-4: -Greece has the longest coastline in Europe and is the southernmost country in Europe. The mainland has rugged mountains, forests, and lakes, but the country is well known for the thousands of islands dotting the blue Aegean Sea to the east, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and the Ionian Sea to the west.
