The phrase means "never" and is similar to phrases like "when pigs fly". The Kalendas, also written Calends were specific days of the Roman calendar, from the beginning of the month when the debts were paid. Since Greek Kalends never occur, when somebody is using this expression wants to underline the fact that a thing will never happen.
