Use the large map on your book to name the peninsula in Europe that had Greek colonies that where the farthest away from mainland Greece. Then we the scale of miles on the map in your textbook to measure the approximate distance from mainland Greece to this colony

Respuesta :

The Ancient Greeks managed to create lot of colonies along the coasts of the Mediterranean and the neighboring seas. The furthest away they managed to create a colony was in the central western coastal part of what is now Spain, nearby modern day Valencia. This was quite the move for the Ancient Greeks as they had a colony that was very far away from the motherland, and it was in hostile territory, so it needed a lot of good diplomacy in order to keep it going. The approximate distance from mainland Greece to this colony on the Iberian Peninsula is approximately 2,200 km as a shortest distance in a straight air line, but traveling through the see would increase it by few hundred km.
