Archeological remains indicate that mud brick, stone, and timber were used for houses in ancient Greece.
The previous answers are correct that marble was used for important buildings like temples and palaces. Other materials were metal and alabaster. Alabaster has been used a lot in the Minoan Palace of Knossos.

Ancient Greece = marble or limestone for temples, mud bricks for houses.
Roman and Byzantine Greece = Stone masonry and bricks
Post-Byzantine Greece (1500-1800) = Rubble masonry and timber-framed buildings
Neoclassical Greece (1800-1900) = Stone (ashlar masonry)
20th century Greece =reinforced concrete and brick.
