I'm going to keep an eye on this post for any other info as I'm also interested in learning the language. I bought a book and cd that I've been listening to but I think it'll be easier to learn when I'm out there, plus I'm told there are lots of different dialects anyway and I could be learning the wrong things with the CD. If you find out anything else Darren will you let me know.
Thanks

Lisa, I have 3 CD's and books you can borrow. I particulally like the 'Be Happy and Speak a Little Greek', I picked one up from Carrefour supermarket for my son for Christmas. I also carry in my handbag 'Collins Gem' Greek Phrase Finder.
The latest I picked up from a charity shop was Rapid Greek by earworms. I had previously looked at this method on Amazon as I had read an article about the site, they are 2 English brothers, one lives over here, the other is a teacher in China or somewhere, he developed this technique of listening to phrases through music when he had taken his guitar to help students who were struggling with a language, he found they responded better to 'musical brain training'.
The price on the back of the CD case is €24!! so a steal at €2, even though it doesn't have the booklet!!
I agree though, villages have very different dialects, I did hear that my village had at one time Turkish Cypriots living here so it varies from village to village, but for you to order us a bottle of Keo each....just get that one first!!
