Greece would fall under NATO protection in this scenario (plus EU) as it's a member of NATO.
NATO is a defensive pact, so I think attacking a NATO member (even if you're a NATO member) likely results in NATO action against the aggressor.

When Greece-Turkey conflicts have happened in the past, NATO members have used strong diplomatic pressure. Turkey might be booted from NATO if war escalates. France has made its choice clear. They are protecting Greece against Turkey. (1) France challenges Turkey’s territorial and resource claims. (2) French have conducted a joint military exercise with Greece and Cyprus as message to Turkey.
