Excluding norhtern, colder parts of Greece, it is USDA zone 10 country with dry weather and quite high summer temps. The winter is usually quite short and doesn't go to freezing so often, if ever. Also the latitude is low enough, so pretty much any Orinoco type and anything hardy for California and many parts of Florida. Humidity and precipitation in Greece is however very low (annualy), there are no monsuns or other disasters, just summer fires from drought and heat.
My friend I advise you these:
Orinoco
Dwarf Orinoco
Ice Cream
Namwah
Dwarf Namwah
All FHIAs
Dwarf Brazilian
Brazilian
French Plantain (also called paradisiaca in close Turkey, where it grows wildly)
Misi Luki
Mysore
Saba...
pretty much any hardier banana. Look into wiki for further reference:

If you are from colder parts of Greece, like zone 9, it still doesn't matter. Regions like Solun and other, where the frost is common are not very much suitable for growing bananas, unless you want to have lots of work with them.
