What geographic characteristics of greece provided a link to the outside world?

 Islands and Seas linked Greece to the outside world.

Explanation: Greece has the longest coastline in Europe and is the southernmost country in Europe. The mainland has rugged mountains, forests, and lakes, but the country is well known for the thousands of islands dotting the blue Aegean Sea to the east, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and the Ionian Sea to the west.

Greece lies on the Mediterrenean Sea. As sea travel has always been a valued method of transportation and trade, the simple fact of its geographic position gave it a way to trade with a variety of countries, such as Italy, Turkey, France, Spain, Egypt, and Morocco. Because the Mediterranean Sea has always been a key center for trade (a result of the concentration of resources around it, as well as the ease of access of a variety of resources from the once sea), Greece's geographical position provided a strong link to the outside world.
