Ok .. you need to plan on
Every 7th day no travel - do washing, shopping etc.
Time off the bike to look at things .. E.G. Athens .. may be 3 days there to see stuff!
Then travel time .. say 400 km per day. Yes you can do much much more .. but not if you take side trips, stop to look at stuff .. plan on 400 km and you'll be able to take a 400 km side trip.
---------------
This way you'll have time to do the trip rather than a race from one place to another.
Most people will see the result as taking too much time .. so they shorten it and end up missing stuff. Miss the stuff closer to home! Much easier to get back to later and see it when time & money permit. So do the 1,000 km days for the first and last week, not in the middle of the trip.
