In fact, I think that because most Greek Professors that I know either I have worked with them or they are friends (some of them even classmates) asking for "weird" stuff is not a problem. However, I think what my friends point out is that cases like Moustakides or Sellis are the exception and not the rule.

I don't know <em>many</em> Greek professors, but I was lucky enough to meet a few who are brilliant in their field and at the same time wonderful human beings. One of them is prof. <a href="http://dsplab.ece.upatras.gr/moustaki/" rel="nofollow">George Moustakides</a>, whom I will always respect immensely, both as an expert in Signal Processing and, more importantly, as a person. Several years ago, when Photis Georgatos and me were working on a diploma thesis related to seismic signal detection prof. Moustakides asked me about the topic of our work in the computer center of <a href="http://www.ceid.upatras.gr/" rel="nofollow">CEID</a> and found out it was related to signal processing. A few days later he invited me at his office. He was talking on the phone when I arrived, so I waited for him to finish his phone call. When he finished his call he handed me a binder with several papers and journal articles. They were all related to the work we were trying to do, and this was his way of helping two of his past students. This was, obviously, something he planned since the first time he heard about the topic of our work. He didn't <em>have</em> to spend any time to search for those papers, but he did. This is why I still remember every bit & detail of this, after more than a decade. I believe I'll still remember how deep and profound impression this made on me for several more decades.
