Things to do and places to go in and around Athens, Greece

So I have a trip to Athens coming up at the end of the month, including at least one and possibly two free weekends, and I was wondering how to best make use of it -- it's been 20 years since I last popped in and I can remember virtually nothing. So far my to-do list contains "Parthenon" and "drink retsina", but that's about it. Which of the countless museums are best? Is there an island within reach of Piraeus or some other must-see site in striking distance?
