How can the spouse of a Greek citizen reside in Greece for more than 90 days?

My wife was born in Greece and is a Greek citizen. She has a Greek Identity Card and Greek passport. I am an Australian national. We have our own unit in Greece. If we go to stay in our unit for an extended period when we retire, do I need a visa if we are going to stay longer than 90 days? If yes, what visa should it be?

    If you wish to stay in Greece for more than 90 days, you need to apply for a residence permit as a family member of a Greek citizen. In order to do so, you will have to register your marriage in Greece before your arrival to Greece, if the marriage is not already registered here.
