Predefinito Recommendations for detailed map of Greece?

Hello, I intend to revisit Greece again and again. The last time I
visited I bought a thick spiral-bound tourist and motoring atlas at a
gas station, and it had a good many ancient archeological sights on it.

However, I noticed all the time, in the course of driving through the
countryside, signs to many sites that were not cited in the atlas. I
picked up a book on the ancient sites of the Peloponnese while I was
there and it helped but I'm looking for something comprehensive.
Something like Ordinance Survey maps in the UK that list ever little
stone circle and burial mound.

My plan is to read Pausanias' _Descriptions of Greece_ that I just
ordered on-line, and see about visiting some of the more obscure
places, as if I were walking in his footsteps. My next specific trip
to Greece will focus on time at Monemvasia, again, but I want some side
trips. I read an on-line snippet from Pausanias, where he describes
the site just north of Monemvasia, Epidaurus Limera. I remember seeing
this place from the road but was foot-sore at the time and did not
visit it. I read in the on-line text of Pausanias, how if you
travelled north from there by a certain distance you come across the
site of Limenas, and how it has a nice harbor and a temple, etc etc.
And I did indeed on Day 68 of my big trip, visit the little village
with the nice harbor, but at the time could not find access to the
ancient site past some people's property. And yet, Pausanius further
describes additional sites even farther north, relating cool
mythological facts about those sites -- and I cannot find them in my
motoring atlas! Nor in Google Maps. Finding THOSE kinds of obscure
places is what I'm after.

Does anyone know an ultimate mapping sources for Greece, something that
will have all these places?

I really feel I connect with history when I visit the ancient places. Thanks,

The Blue Guide to Greece is very useful for locating obscure ancient
sites.

Are real Ordnance Survey quality maps still considered as official
secrets?
