...In GREECE?

Also I hope you aren't planning on spending two weeks just in Athens.

I went for a week and it was awesome. Plan trips to outside Athens while you are there. The more the better

If you enjoy the outdoors an seeing beautiful areas and landscapes I say rent a car and go to Delphi and then the monasteries at Meteora. Best part of my trip.

Also go to some of the islands

Regarding rental cars, how is parking in the area?

Awful.

I only rented a car to go outside of Athens, and returned it the second I got back. Athens is incredibly congested.

While in Athens it's very easy to walk and take cabs/ Ubers everywhere

Don't talk to or touch strangers in the street, even if they come up to you.

So I read an article that says you shouldn't flush toilet paper down the toilet; there's a toilet paper garbage can where you should throw it away...

Is this true?

Yes. Everywhere you go there will be little cans to put the paper in. It's very weird but the second you flush you will see why. Plumbing sucks and it barely has enough force to flush the water down... Let alone any toilet paper if you threw it in. Instant clog if you do.

Ask local Greeks if they've read The Republic.

It worked just fine in the hotel I stayed at.

I would honestly just go to Berlin/Paris/London and see the Ancient Greek artifacts there while visiting those 3 cities over two weeks.

Stay for a day, see the Akropolis, and then go to Santorini for a MUCH better experience. Santorini was AMAZING...but Athens, blech.

I went to Greece when I was 12 and I flushed toilet paper every time I took a shit with no issues. This includes in cities a lot smaller and more obscure than Athens. Idk though, I wouldn't doubt that the plumbing isn't super robust.
