Athens in April?

Planning a 2 week trip to Athens, Santorini & Mykonis in late April.
Besides the "tourist" sights to be seen, any special "local" things I
should not miss?
Thanks for any feedback.

Bear in mind that Greek Easter falls on April 23 next year. Because of
Holy Week, normal business is disrupted. A lot of people leave Athens
and go to their home villages.

Give Athens three days max to do the tourist must see sights and any
other special local things you want/find.I honestly can't
remember/suggest many special local things in Athens, maybe the Plaka
flea market??? Spend your time on the islands and add a couple more.
Those two mentioned are must see islands but I loved Syros(Ermopolis)
most of all and Naxos and Paros are good too and close by! I don't think
you can even get to Santorinni without stops at Paros and Naxos.
