Yes, Greek Orthodox do use a rosary. It is called a komboskni and is made of knotted black yarn. There is one that is made to slip over a wrist, which contains 33 "bead-knots." Each knot, or bead, is made of several knots. At the point in which the komboskini bead-knots are joined, they sometimes also contain a knotted bead which which looks like a cross. The Jesus prayer is recited. Generally the komboskini is given by a loved one, or a Nun (part of your spiritual family.) There is also a longer komboskini, which contains 99 knotted beads, and at the place where the knots are joined, a red cross is made out of knotted/wrapped red yarn. It is my understanding that the Jesus prayer is also recited with the longer komboskini. This komboskini, and one that is about 15 inches in length, seem to be the closest to non-Orthodox rosaries.
