The Greek dark age was a period of Greek history that lasted from the Dorian invasion in 1100 BC to the first signs of the Greek poleis which occurred in the 9th century BC. There was a lack of architectural structures built during this time.
The period in time that followed the dominance of the Minoans and Myceneans was called the Dark Ages.
Ancient Greece had been long before the Dark Ages, so the answer to your question is neither. Sometimes the period between the end of the Trojan War and the beginning of the Classical Period is referred to as the Greek Dark Age.
During the Greek Dark Age, which lasted from approximately 1100 to 800 BCE, there was a significant decline in literacy and the use of written language. The Mycenaean script, Linear B, fell out of use, leading to a period where there are few written records. This era saw a loss of complex administrative systems and the collapse of palatial societies, resulting in a predominantly oral culture. However, by the end of the Dark Age, the Greek alphabet was developed, paving the way for a resurgence in literacy and the eventual flourishing of Greek literature and philosophy.
