1. Anyone know any good campsites anywhere between Igoumenitsa and Athens, and then Athens to Turkish border?
When driving south from Igoumenitsa, the 1st campsite is about 7 kms from the ferry, on your right. Good food.
Inbetween I didn't stop. On the middle finger of Chalkidiki in the south-eastern part of the small town of Sarti there's a nice camp. The one in the north is a bit ramshackle.
2. Is wild camping allowed?
I reckon the Greeks are just about the most laid back people of Europe. If you are on any dirt road and find a secluded spot next to the track, I'm sure nobody will chase you away.
3. Are there any good areas for exploration with a 4x4?
Dunno about 4x4, but the Pindos mts. still offer lots of dirt roads in varying conditions. I explored the small backroads in Chalkidiki on my bike, which was lovely No traffic and always a great view across the surrounding landscape.
4. How much is diesel?
Don't know the present situation, but in April fuel was about 25 - 30 cents cheaper than in Germany. Our fuel prices are more or less equal to yours
