Probably quite well weather wise. It very rarely snows here and the weather is usually mild in winter but scorching in summer. So tents would take care of living conditions.
The biggest issue would be water, the eastern mediterranean doent have the biggest water reserves known to man.
Food, in terms of game etc is also an issue but vegetables etc are abundant.
So if i managed to survive the massive war that would happen then it should not be too hard. But then again things can always get worse.

1. stockpile firearms and munitions
2. train family members in their proper use and maintenance
3. locate and identify people with stockpiles of supplies, but low ability of defense
4. become marauders
5. loot, ****, pillage till either dead or warlords
I approve. When in doubt become Mongols!

old horses become food & leather
they also had goats and some type of cow/yak thing
give your average city dweller a bunch of seed/seed root crops and they are still most likely going to starve
the particularly stupid ones will just eat the seeds
a very tiny few will actually manage to plant them the "right way upGäó" Give us some animals, like chickens, cows, goats, horses, and we'll be fine. Grandparents had a ranch and I spent a lot of time there growing up. Give me a seed, and I'm pretty clueless. But I can handle a rifle and handgun. Hence the reason we would become Marauders.
Just grow spuds and get a couple of green houses for tomatoes etc. Its not rocket science. Sod stuff like asparagus which is way too iffy at the best of times.
Also while cows would be nice a beef cow is a lot of energy, so maybe have dairy cattle. And a lot of pigs as they can live off pretty much anything.

Mmmmmm.... pork, potatoes, and tomatoes. Then the chickens for eggs, and cows for milk. Sounds like a good start for breakfast. The wife is working on learning about all that seed and planting and growing stuff. I hate gardening, but I would enjoy the building of a greenhouse part. Still like the idea of becoming marauders, and setting up my wife as a major warlord. For some reason, that just gives me an endless fit of the giggles.
No reason why you cant be a marauder who takes proper yard maintenance seriously. 
The issue I have with marauding is that unless you live in a densely populated area, you will have the gasoline issue, and with horses you'll have the issue of watering / feed bags and so on. After a while living from a static location is going to mean you have to forage further and further, thats why the mongols / all horse people were nomadic. Pillaging up and down the West Coast of the USA does sound nice though. Salmon in the north, oranges and so on in the south...mmmm.

Ah yes... farming the tourists for eating.
Surely we can breed the sheep to or there will be none left?
