The sea helps block enemies of Greece from attacking because most enemies will not make the journey across sea and therefore have to travel through Greece's mountainous land. Since the mountains do not provide much fertile soil, Greeks rely on fishing in the oceans as well as trade with Egypt and other countries for resources, food, and other goods. The sea was also important to the Greeks because it provided them with transportation (boats, etcetra) to get to other countries,
Aside from being the Western Border for much of Greece, it was connected to two figured from Greek mythology: Io, a consort of Jupiter, who, as a cow, swam across the sea to escape Hera; and Ionius, one of the sons of Adrias (for whom the Adriatic Sea is named).
This is the body of water that one had to cross to get to Syracuse (a Greek colony) and eventually Rome.
The Greek Mainland (Thrace, Epirus, Boeotia, Attica, and the Peloponnesus) is among the most mountainous and hilly lands in all of Europe, making land travel between the city-state minimal. It also directed their efforts away from expanding their influence primarily over land and explains why non-coastal regions of Greece took the longest to develop. Conversely, since most of the city-states were relatively close to the water, especially those found on Crete, Cyprus, the Dodecanese Islands, or Cycladic Islands. Greek city-states favored marine travel which was more reliable and cost-effective than land travel. As a result, many city-states had strong navies as opposed to having strong armies. (Sparta is the one major exception to that rule.)
The Greece need the sea to survive because the need water to drink and to wash their clothes
Greece got thire water not by the sea but by batering or buying it from other people

Greece borders the Ionian Sea, Mediterranean Sea, the Sea of Crete, and the Aegean Sea.
Ionian Sea The body of the water to the south of Italy and the east of Greece is the Ionian Sea. It is part of the Mediterranean Sea.
The primary bodies of water near Greece are the Aegean Sea to the east, between Greece and Turkey, and the Ionian Sea to the west, between Greece and Italy.
To the West of Greece... lies the Ionian Sea. It separates Greece from Italy.
Poseidon ruled in the sea which surrounds the entire city of Greece and he was considered the god of the seas
The Mediterranean Sea, Aegean Sea, Sea of Crete and Ionian Sea border Greece.
Travel in the Mediterranean sea
Greece is entirely in the Mediterranean Sea. The eastern coast of Greece is on a body of water of the Mediterranean Sea which is called Ionian Sea and separates Greece and Italy. The western coast of Greece is on a body of water of the Mediterranean Sea which is called Aegean Sea and which separates Greece and Turkey. The Greek coast on the Aegean Sea is longer than that on the Ionian Sea.
The Mediterranean Sea is contiguous Egypt and Greece.
