Overstayed in Greece earlier. How can I return now?

You can always apply for a long-stay visa. I don't know about Greek law or practice but there is nothing that would preclude it in the Schengen regulations. Of course, you would also need a legitimate claim to this long-stay visa. Depending on the visa you are seeking, having overstayed before might weight against your application (even after the 3 months have passed) and it could take a few months anyway so it's unlikely to be a solution to return to Greece quickly.

You cannot enter without a visa for a short-stay because you already used your 90 days. In fact, you could not do it even if you did not overstay and left on the 90th day, which is why this 3-month thing does not sound like an actual ban but only like a reminder of the rules.
