I'm an autodidact. I bought three volumes of the JACT Cambridge Reading Greek:
Grammary, Vocabulary and Exercises
Text
An indipendent guide
You can buy them on Amazon.
If you don't mind older texts, you could get free ebooks from here https://www.textkit.com/greek_grammar.php
E.g, https://www.textkit.com/learn/ID/159/author_id/75/
or https://www.textkit.com/learn/ID/136/author_id/39/
Make sure you get the key to the exercises. Work methodically through the books without cutting corners. Feel free to ask for help here.

Currently in my first semester of Ancient Greek at Uni, after two years of Latin. It's hard. Like others have mentioned, this is partly due to a new alphabet which just makes it harder to recognise works.
We use the JACT Reading Greek books. There's three: a grammar and exercises, text and vocabulary and an independent study guide. (There's also an ancient Greek history one but that's not really necessary) They all work together and get you to learn by reading from the start - one book talks you through the grammar whilst the other has corresponding reading passages. This makes the endless tables of grammar far more relevant. Also the independent study guide helps you through the tricky bits of a translation where it would be nice to have a teacher to explain it to you. But they're still not a substitute for a tutor.
Good luck!
