Until Philip of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great, rampaged through and destroyed the city in 432 B.C., Olynthus was a rich and flourishing metropolis, its people enjoying the luxury of the latest plumbing innovation-bathtubs. Excavations at Olynthus, in northern Greece, attest to tiled bathrooms and self-draining tubs. Several of the tubs have survived intact, shaped like present-day models though with one sloping end cut off. It is assumed that underground piping was made of since deteriorated clay, as there was no lead piping found.

King Philip II ruled Macedonia from 359 to 336 BC. He was born in Pella, the capital of the ancient Macedonian kingdom, as the youngest son of king Amyntas III. After his fathers death, Macedonia slowly disintegrated as his elder brothers and future kings Alexander II and Perdiccas III, unsuccessfully fought against the continuous attacks of the neighboring Thracians, Illyrians, and Greeks. The Thracians were already in possession of eastern Macedonia, the strongest Greek military power of Thebes continuously intervened in the internal Macedonian politics, the Greeks colonies on the edge of Macedonia, particularly Olynthus, were obstacle to Macedonia's economy and presented a military danger, and the invasions of the Illyrians put north-western Macedonia under their occupation.

There weren't any castles as we think of them today, at least not in classical Greece. Most people lived in a type of house called a courtyard house. This is an inward looking house with few, small, outer windows, and an internal courtyard which the rooms opened out into. Richer people lived in bigger, more luxurious versions of this type of house. This type of house existed in the cities and in the countryside. Particular locations where Greek domestic archtitecture can be studied include Zagora, Olynthus, the Athenian Agora and Thorikos (for urban houses) and the Vari and Dema houses (rural).

If you don't mean classical Greece, there were the Mycenean palaces - that's bronze age stuff, ending roughly 1200BC - the titular site being Mycenae, though there was also a Mycenean palace on the Athenian Acropolis of which, unfortunately, there are almost no remains. There were others but I can't remember where.
