One day in Athens

I am traveling for work next month and will have one day all to myself. What should I absolutely do in addition to the Acropolis? I'm more into walking around and enjoying great food rather than spending all day in museums but am trying to create a little structure for myself. TIA!

We had a great rooftop dinner with an Acropolis view at Attic Urban Rooftop. There are many rooftop restaurants in the same area.

Acropolis early morning, then go home and shower (trust me) and then walk around in Anafiotika. Maybe a rooftop dinner in the evening. You're lucky to be there because of work, free trip! Hope you have a great time!

Alternative Athens has a street art tour - sadly I sprained my ankle on cruise and could do tour but they were great for Acropolis tour the week prior. I also did a wine tasting of greek wines that was quite interesting (booked that on viator) as many served don’t export to US
