No, there is a spot in the base of the forewing that is missing in Polyommatus escheri. Polyommatus icarus has that spot but I don't know if it is the only one or others have it too. Identifying the blues is a nightmare and I usually try to avoid it. There are some descriptions and comparison with other species in the links below but there may be more similar species in Greece.

The Common blue

The common blue butterfly is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae and subfamily Polyommatinae. The butterfly is found throughout the Palearctic. Butterflies in the Polyommatinae are collectively called blues, from the coloring of the wings. Common blue males usually have wings that are blue above with a black-brown border and a white fringe. The females are usually brown above with a blue dusting and orange spots.
