There's still a fortnight of this left?...

So I quickly fled Italy yesterday, but I am starting to wonder if that was the smartest move I could have made. Months, and Months ago I became aware that I had to try and kill a month between the end of the Tour De France and the Start of the big dance.

At the time it sounded easy, even a little exciting, a whole month in the captain's chair of the (then unnamed) HMAS Messy Days Express with all of Europe at my feet. I quickly made my plans, I wanted to see: Puccini Fest, Rome, Cannae, Athens, and the Istanbul Grand Prix. Unfortunatly at the time I didn't give any thought to the fact that this accounted for perhaps 8 days of touristing, when I had to fill over 30.

Now, I am at the coal face, spending each day trying to get more and more touristing done, and I have realised that I have a certain limit to the amount of rediculously unimportant boxes that I can tick at any moment. For instance, three days ago, pure box ticking in Naples- possibly one of the boringest afternoons of my life. Another example, my current situation, I fled Italy as I was bored and over it and am now in Greece... But the problem is I don't really have anything I really, really, want to see in Greece. Sure there is the obvious boxes of the Acropolis, Thermopoalae, Delphi, Knossos, and Marathon, but apart from that I can't really think of what I am going to do.

Seriously, I have come up with about 3.5 days of touristing to cover the next fortnight- add on Gallipoli, Troy, and maybe the sights of Istanbul on Grand Prix day and we're at about a week- this still leaves me a week short.

What to do for a week in Greece/Turkey? Seriously, I am looking for idea's here people. I have gotten all the idea's I possibly could of our friends at Poundster.com, and am still short- so any idea's are welcome in the comments section.

Also, I have to get from Instanbul to Paris between the 26th and 3rd of September. I have Venice and the Last Supper in Milan on the list for this period, but that is maybe an afternoon, so need some other things to do that weekend.

Folks, I am down to re reading Tucker Max and my Thomas Clancey that I read on the way over to the UK, I am desperate for things to do to fill my days. Suggestions Please.
