What you will see
Athens is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 12:32:56 local time, the Moon hides 78.2% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 11:16:49 and ends at 13:50:02, 2 h 33 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 66° above the horizon, towards the south-east, so you want a clear view in that direction from Athens.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 607 km south-west of Athens.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Massah, about 612 km south, where totality lasts 1 m 06 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
