It's a little more expensive, but worth it in my opinion. more tangy; By the By, you can make your own greek style yogurt. Easiest way: take plain yogurt, strain using a sheet of paper towel or muslin, in a strainer, over a bowl in the frig, at least 8 hours pour off the liquid and Viola'!
Or, make yogurt from scratch, way less expensive;
1 gallon of lowfat milk heated to 180*, then cooled to 110* . Mix 1 cup of the warmed milk with 4 oz of plain ( no flavor, or sugar) yogurt containing active cultures.then mix that into the other milk. cover and kleep warm for 8-12 hrs.I used a heating pad on medium, covered the kettle with a heavy towel to keep the heat in;strain the same as above for desired thickness. this will keep in the frig for up to a week.

I make my own. It's so easy and very cheap. You can buy a yogurt maker in about any dept store but I use my countertop oven. You can use any type of milk you like. I use Flax milk, almond milk, coconut milk, and add powdered milk to add a calcium boost. Milk, yogurt starter (a dab of fresh yogurt will do) that's all you need. Draining the fresh yogurt makes Greek style yogurt. Here is a pic of a quart of fresh yogurt I made at a friend's house to show her how to do it.

So draining it makes it greek? it's basically thicker? From the way it tastes I thought it was a different culture.
I don't know anything about yogurt. I find it innteresting when people make food from scratch.
