Greece's Geography 

Greece is a peninsula, surrounded on three sides by water
Greece is mainly damp and mountainous in the west and dry and sunny in the east with less mountains
All of this would effect their culture because the water would provide most of their food and transportation out of Egypt.  Also, it would be harder to grow crops because of the mountains.  The people of Greece formed around the mountains and learned to live with their topographic location. 

A closer Look 

The Ionian Sea, the Aegean Sea,  and the Mediterranean Sea surround Egypt.
The Santorini Island is to the Southeast of Greece in the Aegaean Sea.
Athens is Northeast of Sparta and is located on the coats of the Aegean Sea.  Sparta is located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
