Answer 1

Settlements were located in the lowlands where the land was fertile and could be farmed.

Reason: Greek communities tended to form in coastal plains and river valleys that supported agriculture and trade; the interior was largely mountainous and less suited to large settlements, and the region has dry summers rather than heavy summer rains.
