This is an itinerary we developed with some friends from the USA that enabled them to see far more of Greece in a trip of two and a half weeks than they ever expected.  Everything was labelled "possible" because we wanted to keep things relaxed and flexible.  In the event the programme proved to be realistic.

We have updated the links but, as websites are always developing, we'd be pleased to learn of any dead links.
