The correct statement regarding how the physical geography of Greece led to interactions with other cultures is:
**Ancient Greeks traveled by sea to trade with other Mediterranean civilizations.**
The geography of Greece, characterized by its mountainous terrain and numerous islands, made overland travel challenging and often limited. As a result, the ancient Greeks turned to the sea for trade and communication, leading to extensive maritime interactions with other cultures around the Mediterranean, including those in present-day Italy, Egypt, and the Near East. This naval orientation facilitated the exchange of goods, ideas, and cultural practices among various civilizations.
