the population of Ancient Greece increased by a factor larger than ten during the period from 800 BC to 350 BC, increasing from a population of 700,000 to a total estimated population of 8 to 10 million
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greece
In this period a huge economic development occurred in Greece and its overseas colonies, with the growth of commerce and manufacture. There also was a large improvement in the living standards of the population. Some studies estimate that the average size of the Greek household, in the period from 800 BC to 300 BC, increased five times, which indicates a large increase in the average income of the population.
At its economic height, in the 4th century BC, Ancient Greece was the most advanced economy in the world. According to some economic historians, it was one of the most advanced preindustrial economies. This is demonstrated by the average daily wage of the Greek worker, it was, in terms of grain (about 13 kg), more than 4 times the average daily wage of the Egyptian worker (about 3kg).

Athens (Attiki) was the largest Greek city-state, approaching a population of approximately 100,000 by 500-450 B.C. The article below will answer the rest of your question, as it is too lenghty to type out.

In Laws, V. 74, Plato states that the ideal republic would have 5,040 citizens, i.e., heads of households. This figure implies an optimum size population of about 20,000 people. He linked his optimum size of city to the need for communications among citizens. "The city must remain sufficiently small to permit the holding of public meetings with all of the citizens present."
Greek city-states rarely had populations as many as 40,000 people. As a general rule, as soon as a city approached a population of 20,000 to 30,000, it decided to found a new city ratherthan to continue the original city's development.
Athens reached a level of 100,000 people but wars with other City State bounced that number quite a bit.
