古希腊位于地中海东部。它的自然地理环境是多山环海并且地势崎岖不平,仅有的小部分平原又为关山所阻隔。大部分土地不适合种植粮食作物,而适合种植经济作物。海岸线曲折并且多优良海港,航海条件极好。多山使各城邦之间相对封闭,各自为政,难以统一。环海使古希腊的航海业发达,而耕地不足又是希腊历史上大殖民运动发生的重要因素之一。 Ancient Greece is located in the eastern Mediterranean. Its natural geographical environment is mountainous and rugged terrain, only a small part of the plains and Guanshan blocked. Most of the land is not suitable for growing food crops and is suitable for growing cash crops. Winding coastline and more excellent harbor, excellent sea conditions. Mountainous so that the relatively closed between the city-states, fragmented, difficult to unify. The sea circulation made the ancient Greek maritime industry developed, while the shortage of cultivated land was one of the important factors in the history of the great colonial movement in Greece.
