When we got ready to go to Greece last year, my friends (who go there A LOT!) gave us older travel guides and freytag & berndt road maps. Check out used bookstores (on-line, too) for Fodor's, Frommer's, Lonely Planet, Cadogan guides. We were able to get around quite well. We found amazing sites from all eras using those guides.
See if you can pick up the Greek alphabet. It helps when you can read the road signs off the beaten track.
Don't worry about the food. I loved the meatballs. The local bakeries and sweet shops are great. You will do just fine.
