While the Antikythera mechanism (earliest known computer) is housed at the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, there is a smaller museum in Athens called the Museum of Ancient Greek Technology, with replicas of the mechanism as well as various greek inventions over the millenia that I knew little to nothing about prior. Lots of times I thought "they never taught me that in any class..." Highly recommend you add a visit during the busy periods of the more well known tourist attractions in Athens. The personal guide was very engaging, very informative, and I think it was like 5 bucks per person. http://kotsanas.com/gb/index.php
