Looks like a form of Kenilworth Ivy, Cymbalaria muralis, or whatever they've renamed it as!

You are absolutely correct Fermi. It was the coloration which confused me -(which is hardly difficult these days ::))

There's apparently quite a few species in that genus, but I have to admit I've only ever heard of C. muralis... Here's a hairy one that seems to match: https://www.greekflora.gr/el/flowers/1730/Cymbalaria-microcalyx-subsp-microcalyx

   Cymbalaria microcalyx subsp. alba (Voliotis) Kit Tan, Endemic Pl. Greece, Peloponnese 328 (2001) (2001) 
   seems to fit  and  it  is  endemic to the  Peloponnese
