WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Greece was a mainly mountainous landscape, with the Pindus Mountains and Mount Olympus, surrounded by water on three sides by the Ionian Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Aegean Sea. This meant that the Greek city-states of Ancient Greece were separated by mountains and water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ancient Greek civilization was concentrated in what is today Greece and along the western coast of Turkey. However, ancient Greek colonists established cities all around the Mediterranean and along the coast of the Black Sea.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -The natural geographical formations of ancient Greece helped form three distinct regions-the Peloponnese, Central Greece, and Northern Greece.
