1) Do visit the Acropolis museum, Lycabettus and National Art Gallery.
2) Do book tickets for a performance at Herodes Atticus Theater.

4) Do have dinner with view at the Rooftop of the hotel Grand Bretagne
5) Do shopping at the Golden Hall Mall and enjoy a big cup of coffee at the cozy coffee places between the boutiques. If your feel homesick, you can always enjoy your skinny vanilla latte at Starbucks.
6) Do have a walk with a sea view in Flisvos Marina and Vouliagmeni and taste the yummiest waffles with ice-cream at Waffle house.

10) Don’t rent a bike! Greeks drive like maniacs.
