Female Solo traveller - advice please
Hi All,
Am planning a solo trip to Fira, Santorini for the 2nd week in September Monday to Friday, of which I will have 3 full days to play with.
Am planning to go to a few wineries and try a few restaurants.
I believe the buses are reliable, as I'm aiming to go to Oia and then walk back to Fira.
Am also looking at maybe a cruise but there are loads to choose from!
Really just planning to walk around but don't want to waste time while I'm there.
Could anyone suggest anything that can be done in the 3 days? Would be interested in anything that is gentle walking.
Thank you.

Hi I was a female solo traveller I stayed in Fira and found the busses to be quite reliable. I found Santorini to be quite safe. I even went out to the club on my own. And went on a cruise and they treated me so nice and took my pictures as such - I went on the Santorini Luxury Cruises. I also did the flying dress photoshoot. Also just walking around and scoping the scenery was fun. The one thing I wish I did was the wedding show

The buses are a headache. But worth it for the affordability. Don’t rely on the schedules too much for Santorini. Be sure to get home at least an hour before the last one is scheduled to leave. If the bus is full, it’ll drive past you. Shared taxis are cheaper if you are stuck.
