A lot of things, at least on the islands, shut down during the winter. It can get really cold too, so make sure you have warm clothes with you! I spent most of my time on Ios and Santorini, not much of the mainland (except by train and bus, of course). Lots of the Greek people I met had homes in Athens or other places, and talked like there was a mass migration off the island after the summer... that may just be Ios though. I was not a fan of Athens, but heard better things about Thessaloníki (also a fairly large city).
