Acropolis, Athens

Ancient Agora of Athens

National Museum, Athens

Thessaloniki - British Military Cemetery 

Museum of the Royal Tombs of Aigai, Vergina (5)

Ancient Mycenae (1) and Theatre of Epidaurus (4) - check out KeyTours

Olympia & museum (Praxatiles statue!) (3) - My Tours offers full-day tours from Athens from £62 per person.

(Wolter's World recommends Crete as a good place to start.)
On Crete, visit Knossos and the Archealogical Museum of Heraklion; Visit Knossos offers combined tours of Knossos Palace and Heraklion archaeological museum from £37 per person, transport included.

Drive from Thessaloniki to Vergina via A1 west and then Egnatia Odos/A2/E90 (this route has tolls):
