Ancient Greece was not a unified nation for the most part but eventually became one. When we speak of city-states and islands before the year 300 BCE then No, it was not. Each metropolitan area, large city, island, region was ruled by itself, known as a City-State. Similar to Washington D.C., or most nations' capitals (including Greece today). Most of the times, the main capital is its own ruling body. In the days of Ancient Greece, this was true to the extent of people fighting wars.

Probably the most glorious Greek war was the Trojan or Persian Wars. Because every Greek city-state got together, despite their cultural differances to fight a common enemy. But still, officially the Athenian army was governed by Athens as Spartan Armies were ruled by Sparta. This was similar through all of the hundreds of thousands of city states.

Athens and Sparta had the best rivalry, Athens being the city of the Navy, conquering and controlling vast cities, armies, and islands under its rule. Known for cultural technologies and breakthroughs like democracy. Sparta was a city ruled by and for the military, often seen as barbaric and firce dedicated fighters. The Peloponesian war was fought between Athens and Sparta and eventually saw the Athenian fall.

After Alexander conquered Greece, being half Greek, he decided to move the capital of Macedonia to Greece, Athens to be exact. Under Alexander's rule Greece was united and all of the cities, Islands and villages were questionable to one king. This didnt stop regionalists from establishing control and governments locally giving Greece most of its current state or province bounderies today.
