Useful Tips:

If you have more time, consider staying longer in Dubrovnik to explore the city more extensively. You can also add a day trip to nearby Montenegro or Bosnia and Herzegovina. In Greece, you can opt to visit Hydra or Nafplio instead of Thessaloniki as they are also great family-friendly destinations.

If you have less time, you can combine the Athens and Mykonos tours as Mykonos can be done as a day trip as well. You can also skip Ioannina and Parga and head directly to Corfu from Meteora.
