Greece has a lot to offer anyone who knows how to think outside the box. In other words, it would be a pity to limit oneself to a circuit that could not be more classical, that of archaeological sites, without pushing the curiosity a little further. Cross roads are made to be borrowed.
The change of scenery is actually where there is nothing to see. It is in the lost places of Greece that we still have the chance to be welcomed in the respect of the Greek tradition, that of philoxenia, the traditional “hospitality” of the Greeks, which still exists in certain  forgotten places.
