Athens for Ancient Greek learners?

Greek Learning Greek

I will be in Athens in a few weeks. Any advice of things especially interesting there to learners of Ancient Greek? Bookstores, for example?

I am an intermediate learner of Modern Greek as well, in case that is relevant to any advice!

While in Athens, I discovered this bookstore randomly, which has a very large selection of books about Ancient Greek and books in Ancient Greek, including books translated from Ancient Greek to Modern Greek, and parallel texts with Ancient Greek on one page and Modern Greek on the facing page. Great for people learning both languages:

While there, I got a copy of Epictetus’s Enchiridion with parallel text (Modern Greek on the right, Ancient Greek on the left):
Εγχειρίδιον, Αποσπάσματα https://www.kaktos.gr/product/egcheiridion-apospasmata/
