Unless a lot of people learn English in school, I'd say a lot of the tagging was done by tourists, as most of it appears to be in English..

Everyone learns English in school. Greek is a subtle, complex language, but it can't get you very far outside of Greece. Most people speak at least three languages (besides, this is Europe).
Unfortunately, it's cool to not use your own language, and these vegetables only care about being cool.
This area is very far from the nearest tourist attraction.

Greek, English and French are generally favoured (followed by German and Italian).
By the way, 'Heor' has been busy. He's tagged every vertical surface in the entire area, including bus stops, fences, walls and street signs. All of his tags are crap, naturally.

it's the same here in sweden. you generally learn three languages, swedish, english and in school you choose spanish, german or french. but most people suck when it come to all three of them to be honest.

My experience in Italy was that nobody speaks anything but Italian. ;) In fact, an Italian woman I know said: "If they don't speak my language, why would I learn theirs?"
