Went alone for my birthday and came back with more confidence than I arrived with, the mix of ancient history in Athens and island calm in Mykonos and Santorini worked perfectly for a solo pace.
Athens portion felt a little rushed with only limited time before the ferry to Mykonos, and the ferry itself got delayed almost three hours due to weather which threw off the rest of the day.
As someone who was nervous about solo travel, this itinerary made it easy, ferries between islands were smooth and the Acropolis to Mykonos to Santorini flow made complete sense geographically.
Santorini was the clear winner and honestly I wish I'd swapped a night in Athens for one more up on the cliffs. The caldera-view restaurants were lovely but noticeably pricier than anywhere else on the trip.
Beautiful three-island loop, dragged down by a long weather delay on the Mykonos ferry.
The Oia sunset in Santorini lived up to every bit of hype, watching it alone with a drink in hand, no rush to be anywhere, was exactly the reset I needed.
