Let's say you have a hypothetical friend like that, where are you taking them? Doesn't have to be a specific place, I'm more curious what you'd show to a foreigner looking for some not-tourist-traps-and-not-that-one-temple-everyone-goes-to?

HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES HEHE:

Mount Hymettus. I can milk so much content out of that mountain if you like nature and easy hikes.

The various hidden and run-down neoclassical, art deco etc buildings one can find around areas like kypseli etc. Plaka is fine but everyone knows of it.

University campuses. Don't you want to see what the athenian university campus looks like. I'd even take a foreign friend to my art school fo show them around all the workshops and stuff.

The planetarium, the goulandri natural history museum, the natural history museum of the university of athens and a bunch of other lesser known ones, or those with modern folk art like the benaki museum and some others hidden around in athens.

Peiraius. Most tourists only see a tiny portion of peiraius, only when they get on or off a boat. The port and peiraius in general has so much more to see.

Random neighborhoods. Richer ones, industrial ones, i think each neighborhood in athens has its own character.

The first cemetery. Graves that are literal works of art, also many famous people's graves and a chance for historical discussions.

Plato's academy. The lyceum of Aristotle. People completely overlook these ones.

The diomedes botanical garden.

Parks tour. Metro stations tour. My dad and I used to do metro stations tours.

Mount parnitha . A bit of a car trip but it's gorgeous.

Any ongoing festival or exhibition or event meant for locals rather than tourists.

Visit non-tourist stores for souvenirs. Maybe they won't say "i love athens" or have a korinthian helmet on them, but you can find everything from second hand books and clothes to antiques to locally handmade art, comics by greek people that exist only in the 3-4 Athenian comic stores and nowhere else, there's scavenger's markets, there's incredible local jewelry stores etc etc.

Visit a very big supermarket, and visit a big jumbo store. These are essential experiences. When I was in Germany, I had a blast visiting a big supermarket. It's so interesting to see these common things in other countries.

Take them to a nice church to see the Sunday morning service. It might be interesting for someone who hasn't experienced an Orthodox service before. I'll pick one with epic chanters.

Bring them to some of the best pizza shops around athens. Greek pizza is the best pizza please don't kill me italians.

Just show them around my neighborhood. I know all the interesting spots, the best places to eat, and if they're a cat fan I can do the epic cat tour. I think one can get a very good idea of common daily life in Athens in my neighborhood.
