Is it typical throughout Greek islands that guests of one hotel can use the pool of another?
In Corfu, (Kerkyra) you can book a hotel and use its swimming pool. You can also roll up to any other swimming pool and use that, free of charge.
Because you can use any swimming pool of a hotel or accommodation that has one, you can use the best pools on the island, free of charge. - back up here
I believe this rule is the same on other Greek islands, does anybody know specifically where these rules apply? Are there similar rules in other tourist destinations?

It is certainly the case in Corfu and also in Zante. Hotels often have a sign outside saying ' all welcome'. I wouldn't say it applies to every hotel but certainly quite a few. The deal is you buy your drinks and food at the hotel pool bar etc.

Answer 2
I'm sorry, but though it might be common that Corfiot hotels tolerate, accept or even promote the usage of their facilities by non-guests, you have absolutely no carte blanche as in 'you can roll up to any other swimming pool and use that, free of charge'.
You must especially expect restrictions from hotels offering all-inclusive-service, since they might not have any means to prevent non-guests from mooching food and drinks, or from upper class resorts, which with good reasons might want to keep their premises only accessible to their paying guests.
I can of course only speak for the other Greek islands I have visited, but the practice seem to be similar there as well. I've never staid in a 'touristic' area on mainland Greece, so I cannot tell anything about the conventions there.
