We ordered some excellent maps from www.road.gr. They arrived quickly with a rather low cost for shipping them to us from Greece. We were glad we had them as the maps given out by the rental car agancies were terrible.

Take a taxi from the airport to Athens. Pardon my bluntness but it is stupid to rent a car at the airport and drive into that congested city and then pay for parking.
Rent your car on the morning of your departure.
<i>I'm looking for . . . a good road map written in English</i> That is probably the last thing you want. A problem with some maps of Greece is that they identify streets in the Latin alphabet. Outside Athens guess what is on the road signs, if any? Greek alphabet.
I would spend more than two days in Athens. I've already done a couple of weeks there on different trips.

The www.road.gr maps will use both English and Greek alphabets. Study the Greek alphabet before your trip as often the road signs are only in Greek characters.

We spent 3 weeks in Greece and used Michelin red map # 737. Easy to follow with both English and Greek. We put in about 2000 miles during the trip in 2005.
