Our site is using Greek characters for some pages. So in Webmaster Tools -> Crawl -> Crawl Errors, the URLs are shown in a format like:
www.pandafun.gr/%CE%B4%CE%B9%CE%B1%CF%83%CE%BA%CE%AD%CE%B4%CE%B1%CF%83%CE%B7/%CF%83%CF%80%CE%AF%CF%84%CE%B9/%CE%B2%CE%B9%CE%B2%CE%BB%CE%AF%CE%BF/tag/order:updated/criteria:23
Other people told me that they see in their computers URLs with Greek characters and not by "percent" encoding.
I tried a lot of setup in different browsers, but didn't have any success.
Is there any way to see them properly in Google Webmaster Tools?
(I am using Win XP, if that matters ...)

Webmaster Tools always shows URLs with percent encoded URLs. Browsers usually show the URLs to users unencoded in the URL bar for usability. Behind the scenes, when the browser requests the URL from your server, it sends it percent encoded.
Even in your web browser, it is not always possible to get the "pretty" URL easily. Despite the fact that Firefox shows me the pretty version, when I copy and paste it I get the percent encoded version:
www.dmoz.org/World/Chinese_Traditional/%E5%95%86%E6%A5%AD/%E9%81%8B%E8%BC%B8%E8%88%87%E7%89%A9%E6%B5%81/%E9%85%8D%E9%80%81%E8%88%87%E7%89%A9%E6%B5%81/
The real canonical URL for your pages has the percent encodings. Google likes to deal with canonical URLs. They will always use the percent encoded version internally and in Webmaster Tools.
