Athens on a Monday---suggestions please

We already knew that some museums were closed on Mondays, but now we
discovered that the Acropolis and surrounding attractions do not open on
Mondays until 11. Our ship, the Noordam, is in port from 8-6.

We would appreciate suggestions for the hours before 11. Previously, our
plans were to take the metro from Piraeus to Athens immediately from the
ship.

Hours of operation for museums can be found he

Please be overcareful when in Piraeus and Athens. The pickpockets are
rampant. rosaly

And since I wrote this I have been directed to the following site that
says it opens at 8:30. Does anyone know which is correct?

Thanks for the advice. We've previously been on cruises in places like
Barcelona, Rome, and St. Petwersburg, so we know the drill.
