    Are you using WiFi positioning, or actual GPS signals?

    If you are using WiFi positioning, the WiFi access point being used to triangulate your position may actually be "positioned" in the online database as being located in Greece.

    To make sure, go to your settings menu and make sure GPS satellites are turned on.
