Mystery Tree?

I was taking a walk this morning (Easter Eve here in Greece) and came across a
pair of beautiful trees growing wild on the banks of a creek here in
Penteli/Melissia area.  They appear to be fruit trees of some type and couldn't
be fuller of spring blossoms (pale pink, scented, about 3-4 cm across,
5-petaled.)  Leaves are pointed oval.  The new leaf growth is sage green and
felted, the older leaves fragile, soft green and downy on the backs.  The trees
were not very tall, about  3-4 meters.  I took some cuttings, but really had
trouble finding any branchlets without flowers...  Any one know what they could
be?
And a Happy Easter to Greek gardeners!
