Ok, just follow my instructions:

Day 1. Go to the Acropolis, from metro station Acropolis. With the same ticket you can enter from the entrance of the theatre of Dionysus, see the theatre, then go to the Acropolis, and then get out through the ancient Agora, on the other site of the Acropolis hill. There you find yourselves in the area of Monastiraki, it is a picturesque area, but nearby Plaka is better, ask instructions how to get there or see on a map. Have a lovely walk in Plaka and arrange to stop every now and then (like once in Plaka and once in Monastiraki) for refreshments andd food. On Ermou street and Mitropoleos street you can visit 2 byzantine churches, Kapnikarea and Gorgoepikoos, do go and see them.
Day 2: Go to Evangelismos metro station, and from there visit the Byzantine museum, the Benaki museum (where you can also have coffee or lunch) and the Cycladic art museum, they are all 3 a must. From there, if you go uphill, you find yourselves in Kolonaki, the fanciest shopping area, but it is nice to walk a bit in Kolonaki (Patriarhou Ioakeim street) and perhaps have lunch there, just avoid seafood. On top of Kolonaki is Lycabettus hill, don't miss the opportunity at the sunset to take a taxi or the funicular railway and go up to the cafe on top of the hill, to enjoy a dessert and the view of Athens.Even if you don't go on the same day, definitely go on Lycabettus another day.
Day 3: Go to the archaeological museum from metro station Victoria. Then I leave you the day free, perhaps you can walk around Exarhia, the area behind the museum a bit, there are nice neoclassical houses there. And do pass from Panepistimiou street, to see the neoclassical monuments of the University, the Academy and the National Library. (Panepistimiou street links Omonoia square and Syntagma square, the most central square of Athens and I think on the map it may be called El. Venizelou)
Day 4: Go to Syntagma square, see the Parliament (the old palace), and have a walk into the national gardens, just beside the parliament. Then, you can have another walk in Plaka and take it easy.
Day 5: Go to Piraeus and take a ferry trip to Egina. The ferries leave every hour and the trip lasts an hour. Egina is a beautiful picturesque island, very close to Athens, and there you can also visit the ancient temple of Athina Afaia, do that, you'll enjoy the excursion.
Day 6. You can arrange for another day trip, to Nafplio, Epidavros and Mycenae or to Delphi and Hosios Lukas. Both are wonderful, if you do go to Delfi do go to Hosios Lukas Byzantine monastery too. You can arrange these with local travel agencies, mostly in Plaka.
Day 7: I will allow this for travelling and getting rest, or for doing things you may have missed from the previous days.
Just make sure you check with the museums' opening days and hours before you go! Also, make sure to visit all of the places I mentioned, these are definitely "must see"s, and there is nothing much more really.
