Where does the Eurail website ask you to book online? Could you give the URL?

Also check how to book via the contact form on the Greek railways website:

Railways often still think the other way around: it is self-evident that one has to go to a station, talk with a really working staff-member at a counter to have things organised-simply buy the ticket or other functions around it. All these newbees grown up with allonthefone have to get used to how things work in the world!
