Luckily, I didn't believe what was written..
Firstly, OF COURSE they fit Greek bottles, come on...
Secondly, OF COURSE they keep the plants, NOT for a month, but for five to six days, it's great..
I put two bottles on the most sensitive ones (I have a night-blooming flower) and I found them superb...
**I recommend it**

I threw away this particular system. I didn't like it at all. I was away for a long period of time and I found my plants in a bad condition. In one pot, the water from the bottle was running constantly. I tried all 6 attachments and the result was the same. Also, only the 1.5 lt or 500ml bottles are suitable!!! The rest of the bottles don't work. This should be mentioned as information before someone buys it.

  After a few tests a month before I left, they worked great. I used glass bottles of 700 or 1000 ml for vinegar and 500 or 1500 ml for soft drinks. Be careful not to make a hole in the (plastic) bottles. The plant must be well watered, the soil must be very wet. If they are not well watered, within a day at most the bottle will empty. Don't be discouraged by this, the next day refill it and you will see that when the plant is well watered the bottle will not empty quickly, only when the soil dries it absorbs water.
  When I return (after 12 days) I will do an updated evaluation. I suggest you try it for at least two weeks before you leave to learn how they work and to have the right result. Have a great summer!

  It worked great and I found the plants in perfect condition even though it was a heatwave period while I was away.

  For small indoor plants, I used the system with bags and the wick https://www.skroutz.gr/s/24263236/Gemma-Ydro-Pot-Systima-Aytopotismou-me-Docheio-5tmch.html which worked equally well following the instructions.
  You soak the wicks in a basin first, along with their plastic cover very well (I left them inside for a while) to drip and place them by opening a hole with a stick in the pot (with the stick you can push the wick) until it enters the hole and a little from the plastic part of the wick.
  Of course, you put the other end of the wick inside the bag.
  Press the soil well afterwards to close the gaps around the wick.
  Water the plant very well in this case too.
  You can better secure the bags if you put some object underneath (book-box, etc.) so that they do not drag the pot with their weight if it is light and by turning the plastic hooks inwards (with the sharp side towards the plant and not towards the edge of the pot).
  Good luck!

  It doesn't work... I tested it by putting it in an empty pot. It ran out within a few minutes.

  One of the most wasted money I have given lately, I bought almost 10, either it emptied in 5 minutes or it had no flow at all, I made many tests before going on vacation but it didn't...

  I returned it. It offers nothing. I followed all the manufacturer's instructions. I placed bottles of soft drinks instead of water as stated on the packaging. The water empties into the sink. I would characterize it as a "rip-off" product. Do not buy it. You will literally throw away your money and your plants will dry out - that's for sure.

  It only fits soda bottles and if it is placed completely vertically, it continuously leaks, resulting in it emptying throughout the day... unfortunately, it does not live up to what it advertises.

  After many attempts, I found the way to use it correctly.
  First, it only works with beverage bottles and NOT water bottles.
  Second, the soil must be well moistened at the point where you will insert it and tightly pressed. It should also be inserted as vertically as possible.
  Third, as strange as it may sound, DO NOT puncture the bottle because the water will drain out in a few minutes. Let it take in minimal air through the soil when the soil loses its moisture.
  For me, it only worked this way

  It works well as long as the bottle has water.
