Papasotiriou has some novels in English.Y ou can order there more titles if they don't have the ones you're looking for.
You can also go to the center. There are many libraries near Akademias.

I think you're better of ordering any english books you want from Amazon UK, they are much cheaper, better variety & shipping is fast and cheap.
In Greece English books are expensive, variety is not so good and if you want to order from a Bookstore it will take quite a bit of time (3 weeks and over!!I've been told once 1 month to 3 mths!)
I havent bought any english book here for under 10euros, and Im talking about simple 300page novels.
To order online from Amazon you needa credit card, however its very safe, fast service, great prices.
