Separate Greek city-states developed instead of a single state.

Explanation:

The geography did a key role in setting apart the Greek cities, imposing natural barriers as the ocean, mountains and vast distances separated and prevented a unified state.

Each city had also its characteristic culture and self-governed, this created a Mediterranean landscape where Greek culture flourished.

Important cities like Athens, Crete and Sparta developed their unique features:

Contact from other cities was possible yet the independence and autonomous rule were preferred.

The city-states had been naturally isolated and divided by geographical barriers, yet sea allowed as well Greeks to become experts on the sea.

City-states were named polis
