Greece uses a 220V system (which is close enough to the UK's 230 volts to make no difference), at 50Hz (which is the same as in the UK). There are a variety of 2-pin sockets in use, illustrated below:

So you'll need a simple plug adaptor (because of the different pin configurations) but not a transformer (to change the voltage).

For your information, the current UK plug (three pins of rectangular cross section) is uniquely British design and has only been adopted by very few countries, all of them ex-colonies or similarly connected to Britain. Some countries do not have a uniform standard and you will come across a variety within there and then very, very occasionally a UK style socket among those). Not all former UK possessions have adopted the UK plug design, far from it, and therefore worldwide you are much more likely to require an adaptor than not. The European style two pin is the design you will come across most often worldwide and, apart from the UK, the most notable countries where a different design from that two pin design does not dominate are Australia, Japan and the USA. Within the European two pin design there are several variants, this in spite of efforts to unify the standard throughout Europe and beyond.

Sorry, too much haste and not enough proof reading. "...the most notable countries where a different design from that two pin design does not dominate are..." should read "the most notable countries where a different design from that two pin design dominates are.."
