I'm not sure. There were complaints last year that it was not even possible to buy the Interrail Greek Islands pass in Athens. It was possible in 2020 though. Someone recently told me he was able to buy it back then.
It may be worth while to ask Greek railways 1. whether they sell paper Eurail passes anywhere and 2. whether that includes the Eurail Greek Islands pass.
Their webpage about international rail passes still says that Eurail passes (this normally includes the Greek Islands pass) can be issued at Athens railways station:

A phone number and an e-mail address are also mentioned there.
You can buy the Greek Islands Pass in person in Europe once you get here. Where will you be landing and travelling before going to Greece?
We will be landing in Thessaloniki but then going to Athen to port Piraeus

Please ask questions in the community and not via a private message. That's the quickest way to get a response. I don't work for Eurail/Interrail.
