Is it hard to practice Ancient Greek religion in this climate? I remember reading Homer on a beach in the Mediterranean once, and it brought it all home to me how much Ancient Greek paganism was tied to the landscape and the climate. That's the reason why most pagans who aren't Wiccans in this country are Celtic Reconstructionists - it suits the miserable climate 
I'm not a pagan, but my partner is a technopagan and he likes Athena.

That explains so much about other pagans I know!!

Ive stumbled upon websites in which neo Pagans complain about the difficulty of keeping up rituals when they move from locale to locale because the lengths of the day change and the stars change and the nature changes from place to place.
That may be part of why paganism was replaced by the world religions- paganism is just too provincial to be practical as merchants and soldiers traveled greater distances and empires got bigger and trade routes longer in ancietn times.
