You can find Koine Greek (which is way closer than Classical to Modern Greek) fairly easily, but again that's 500 years earlier than you want. I've found with Romance languages, once you pick up one (especially if it's Latin) all the others fall into place easily, so if you can learn one type of Greek the others should be learnable too.
Mine was the opposite, Latin but no Greek. Luckily a Greek Ancient History professor which taught me the few rudiments I ended up knowing, mostly so I could stumble through Mycenaean tablets. Which probably has not done much for my Classical Greek either.
