I think that science/mathematics/philosophy would be the best, and I add those three because they are all connected, or at least were back then
Philospophy is easy: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle. All brought about questioning conventional views of understanding life. The first schools were developed as well, a HUGE landmark. Aristotle started classifying and labelling all things. They put the world on its head.
Mathematics: geometry, algebra, earth calculations, astronomy, all groundbreaking and are the basis for our math today.
Sciences: first real doctors, hypocratic oath, 4 humours are all the basis for health in Europe and Aisa
All of these, like most of Greek culture, was stolen by the romans and adapted which influenced Modern Western Civilization

I agree. Mathematics (for example Archimedes), Philosophy (for example Aristotle) and the Athenean Democracy
These are essential parts of the western civilization, i think.
I forgot about their alphabet, which had precursors, but was the model for a lot of alphabets used today, like the latin one and cyrillic.

Actually, many of the contributions were not Greek, but Macedonian, Phoenician, etc.
