I travelled to Spain in Dec with only a month remaining so not sure if it does apply, I've been told it's six months in Greece but because it's in the EU I thought as long it was valid for the length of the stay xx

I think the 6 months applies to everyone no matter where your travelling to

the information re passports I put on earlier is correct if it does not run out while you are there it is valid
no six months is required this is from the greek immigration site

No it doesn't.

Travel to all countries in the Schengen Treaty, by citizens of those countries, only requires a passport or ID Card that is currently valid.
