Well, here's a checklist:
-Only letting a fifth of the population vote (all male)
-Voting on a hill together, where the majority decides whether or not war is good
-Grab yourselves some slaves
-Convince yourselves that women are worth less than men
-Convince yourselves that women's wombs move around their bodies (yes, they believed this)
-Be incredibly aware from a Naval Perspective
-Develop a court system based on popularity outside of the court
-Condemn your greatest thinkers to death by hemlock...
Okay, there were some good things about Athens, but the good things you tend to already find in most societies today... I thought I'd just highlight some of the strange features of the Ancient city to show how different it really was. For reference the last point is about Socrates (who was actually a cheeky bugger so I can kind of see why they chose hemlock.)
