How did geography influence settlement and way of life in ancient greece?

It was the mountains, especially. Mountains forced Greeks to settle in isolated communities. 

The fertile patches of land were surrounded by mountains and water. These patches were taken by different Greek tribes, who then built fortresses and cities. In doing so they established independent city-states each of which jealously defended its territory.  

Greeks spread all around the Mediterranean and Black Seas, eventually establishing about 2,000 independent city-states. 

Good luck :)

Towns and small farms are usually for land, lakes, rivers, and seas.they also produce other food, like crops.it's also where animals are, where we get our meat.large plantations normally have forests, where crops are grown for sale. (similar to farms)plantations have larger fields of crops.our wine, sugar canes, and fruits come from plantations.
