I went for a month in a 1990, visited Crete, (Hania and Paleohora), Mykonos, and Athens. I had planned to travel to Santorini, and maybe a couple of other islands, too, but I just couldn't leave Mykonos. Now I would like to go back and visit Greece again and again! I think I could live there.
Athens was also a nice surprise. The Acropolis is fantastic, and since I had stayed over in Mykono, I saw that and walked around the Plaka, had a great roll with a hot Greek, and just wandered around taking in the interesting streetscenes,; and that's all I had tiime for.
English and other languages are common; no problem.
Not even a problem in villages, just use hand signals and talk away and write down the numbers.

Greece is great.
In tourist areas English is OK; inland sometimes you need some imagination, but thats fun and it always works out OK.

countless human beings in Greece and communicate, talk, or understand English. have faith me, you will not have a difficulty. i circulate to Greece each and every 12 months and you would be suprised at what proportion human beings understand English...countless human beings do. So, do not complication...Greeks are clever and that they are very welcoming and intense-high quality...you will adore it there!
