Poland citizens enjoy freedom of movement in Greece — no visa is needed and there is no fixed limit on the length of stay.
EU Directive 2004/38/EC says that, without prejudice to national border-control rules on travel documents, Member States shall let Union citizens enter with a valid identity card or passport, and family members who are not nationals of a Member State with a valid passport.
“Without prejudice to the provisions on travel documents applicable to national border controls, Member States shall grant Union citizens leave to enter their territory with a valid identity card or passport and shall grant family members who are not nationals of a Member State leave to enter their territory with a valid passport.”

Greece lets 93 passports in without a visa and requires an embassy visa from 105. Poland citizens are treated the same way as Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Overall the Poland passport ranks #17 in the world with 122 visa-free destinations.

The UK government's travel advice says there is no cost for EES registration.
