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.

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.
