Sightseeing

Either take the téléphérique (from Kolonaki), or walk up. Either way, do get to the top where you'll get a magnificent view of Athens and it's surroundings. PS : I wouldn't recommend walking up at night.

Historical sites of Athens

Don't be afraid to walk into the byzantine (small) churches, to walk in the pedestrian area around the Acropolis, to visit the old Parliament and all of the historical sites around the Acropolis

The flea market in Psiri, Monastiraki, and Thisio

They tend to be "touristically-priced" but it's nice to take-in the vibe.

Artists' booths

Located near the Thisio metro station and on your way up to the Acropolis, you might find some interesting handmade souvenirs, etc, at good prices.
