That doesn't really play any role in your climate. Since you are not goinf to eat them, they will most likely mature even during your Greek winter without any problems. You have both - good temperatures and enough water in winter. Also to that temperature: it really depends, 1 hour of 0°C is not like 15 hours of 0°C and I dare to say that some naners (like my Grand Nains) started loosing the leaves only when the temps fell below -1°C for a shorter period.

Bananas produce fruit when they want. There is no way of estimating how much or when a clump will be fruiting.
