    Greece is located on a peninsula extending into the Mediterranean Sea, with Greek civilization starting in cities on the Greek mainland and Aegean islands. Most Greeks lived along the coast or on islands that were better for farming due to the rocky, barren terrain of the mainland. The seas provided communication and trade routes as Greek civilization expanded from its origins to other areas like Asia Minor and Northern Africa in the later Hellenistic period.
