How long will you be there? Try to go see the islands, but go to the port early as there are not that many trips per day. If you have enough time, a flight to Santorini would be amazing. I took a day trip to Delphi (where the original oracle is) and it was great but quite rainy. The acropolis of Athens is an obvious must-see, but there are great things to see just walking around the city. It's sort of like Rome where there are just hidden treasures everywhere. Greece is so rich in history that even the subways are mini-museums full of artifacts that would be priceless finds in other countries. The food is awesome, I realized how crappy some olive oils here pretending to be top quality really are after going for olive oil tastings in Athens. You must try that! Also, if you like cameos there are some small shops selling hand-crafted ones which are pricey but worth it. Stay away from the part of the old market with the Starbucks and all those things. Tourist traps!!! (Spoken by a victim) If you need any more info or you want to see pictures just let me know.
