Best Answer

the Greeks had a vaste Empire that stretched most of the Eastern Mediterranean. The Mediterranean has a vast quantity of marble. More than anywhere else per km squared. That means that they had literally millions of places to acquire marble. The best and least imperfected marble came from western Anatolia or Turkey and they also got marble from western Italy.
