Argolis has many great sights. You can see several if you rent a car, like Nafplio, Epidavros and Mykenes (and the Corinth Canal), fewer if you use the bus, but even a day in beautiful Nafplio, with all the sights there, is a lovely day trip.

I would stick with wider Athens area, for example Piraeus or Glyfada or Kifissia or Alsos Papagou are completely different than the very city center. In case you meet sunny weather, it is only a 45 minutes bus ride from center to Glyfada where you can have a stroll by the waterfront, enjoy a coffee, maybe visit the Sea Turtles' rescue center, then move towards Glyfada center for some fancy shopping or fine dinning. Piraeus has some very nice spots away from the port area, you could take metro to Faliro and walk 15 minutes to Mikrolimano harbor for some posh coffee/drink or fish food then walk to Kastela or take metro all the way to port, walk 20 minutes to Marina Zeas/Pasalimani fish boat/yaught marinas, visit the great Archeological museum and enjoy the views and all the hustle and bustle around the waterfront. Or you may take metro to Katechaki stop and walk 20 minutes or so to Alsos Papagou, a pleasant pine tree park with artificial lakes and a great cafe/restaurant place in the middle. You can always take metro to Kiffisia for some shopping and walking around soaking in the ambiance and watch how wealthy Athenians live, in some cases in old pretty manors... You could always head to Maroussi with its nice malls and great shopping or even head to Attica Zoo Park near the airport. Many options, no need to stray away from Athens.
