Primarily in stone and marble. They also used a form of the Egyptian papyrus.

More information:

While there are many Greek inscriptions on ancient buildings and marble monuments, people in the Greek and Roman empires regularly used parchment for important letters, scrolls and legal document. Papyrus - an early material much like paper - was used for ordinary writing purposes. The Greek language (Koine Greek) was the common language used throughout the(western) known world from about 300 BCE until about 300 CE.
