One Full day in Athens - what would you plan?

I've got a Mediterranean cruise coming up in the second half of May that will depart from the port in Athens. We're planning to fly into Athens two days early, arriving Friday to have a full Saturday in Athens, and then catch our cruise on Sunday. How would you craft your single day in Athens? I'm traveling with my mom who is 75, she can't walk for super long periods of time (not more than say 30 minutes at time) or hike too many flights of stairs in one shot. Our cruise will be going to Santorini, Olympia and Corfu, not sure if these ports of call will have some better attractions that allow us to skip some attractions in Athens.

Acropolis, Acropolis Museum, find a rooftop bar/restaurant for dinner with views of the Acropolis - it's lit up at night and amazing.
