Why are people in Greece more willing to speak English with foreigners compared with people from other Southern European countries?

 Because we are more likely to speak it.

If you can’t speak a language, you’re less likely to try and engage with someone speaking it.

The only other Southern European country more likely to speak English other than Greece is Cyprus; and Cyprus was a British colony till 1960, so English used to be one of its official languages.
