Detailed explanation-1: -Access to the sea meant that Ancient Greece could grow economically. That’s because being on the sea allows for many ports to be built for trade. The Greeks also became good mariners and were able to use their skills to trade with other city-states. Ancient Greeks used to travel via the Aegean Sea from city to city.
Detailed explanation-2: -Since the soil of Greece was generally poor, the Greeks grew grain at the bottom of the valleys and grapes and olives on the hill slopes. Olive oil was commonly used for cooking most dishes and preserved olives were a customary appetizer. Fruits, fresh or dried, and nuts were typically eaten as dessert.
Detailed explanation-3: -The ancient Greeks were active seafarers seeking opportunities for trade and founding new independent cities at coastal sites across the Mediterranean Sea.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ancient Greeks farmed a variety of crops and animals for food, including wheat, barley, olives, grapes, fruit trees, and vegetables. They mainly farmed to feed their own families. One main farming method they used was crop rotation, which is cycling a few crops on the same field to restore nutrients.
