have an early a.m. flight out of Athens. Any suggestions or recommendations for reasonable lodging reasonably close to the airport? Many thanks!

There are not a lot of places close to the Athens airport. There are only 2 places that can really be considered "airport hotels" - the Sofitel

and the Holiday Inn Attica Ave

Both are pretty expensive - we booked one night at the Holiday Inn for about $150.

With good connections to the Airport (24 hour bus from Syntagma Square), my preference has always been to stay near the Plaka, enjoy a good meal and evening (much better than in an airport hotel) take a nap then head to the airport. Probably no more hassle or cost than arranging a shuttle or taxi from a hotel near the airport.
