My wife and I are going on the Best of Greece Tour in May 2026. We have a couple of days to fill before the tour. We have been looking at things to do. We have thoughts of going to Crete or find trips we can do in Greece that will not be on the tour. I would appreciate any ideas.

With only 2 days pre-tour, I would stay in Athens and visit sites that the tour doesn't visit- which is a lot.
The RS tour only visits the Acropolis, the Acropolis museum and the national archaeological museum.
That leave a lot to see- but you have to decide what you want to do. Food tour? Lycabettus Hill? Monastiraki? the roman forum?
I'd also consider a day trip out to Cape Sunion.
