See the related links for a picture of a Google Street View car.

The picture should answer the question. And yes, they literally did drive these or something very like them down every street for which there are street view images.

Why doesn't Greece have street view on Google Maps?

Only museum views for Greece have been added to date. Both the Monastery of Saint John the Theologian and the Acropolis Museum in Greece were added to Google Street View through the Google Art Project in 2012. Street View is not yet available in all countries. Greece as listed is one that will be added in the future. The world is a big place and Google is striving to cover the entire world, but it takes time. New countries are added as often as possible. Google usually has partners in the various countries that drive the cars around taking pictures then send results back into the Google data center for processing. You can see the list of worldwide coverage of Street View in related links below.

How can you find out how old the images are on Google Maps?

For Street View imagery the date of a Street View is displayed bottom right of the image (but not the time).For dates of the base imagery in Google Maps you'll need to use Google Earth and locate the same location and zoom level for the same view to see the imagery date.

Google Earth (unlike Google Maps) has historical imagery showing all previous versions of imagery that Google has for the particular area.See related question to show dates in Google Earth.
