Fortunately our AirBnb was close to the main thing I wanted to see in Athens, which was the Acropolis (only 14 minutes way).
Got to the Acropolis by 10am via Uber (Uber in Greece just actually calls a taxi, but fortunately you don’t have to deal with catch, unlike if you just use a taxi directly). The crowd definitely picked up by the time I got there.
For taxi drop off and pick up, there is only one area that this can happen. Also, for tickets, it is highly recommended to buy them online (although even though it says online that you skip the line, there was a small line at the entrance). Got the tix from this website, which included a useful audio tour on your phone (although you don’t necessarily start from “1” that is on the audio tour map!): https://www.getyourguide.com
Some areas of interest visited in the Acropolis are include: Temple of Athena Nike, Pantheon, Theatre of Dionysus, Odeon of Herodes Atticus, The Great Staircase.
Afterwards I headed to the airport to catch a flight to Santorini! (Note that ATH is only one terminal, but Hall A is really far away from the departures drop off).
When I arrived in Santorini, getting an Uber was pretty easy (they actually outsourced it to another company). However, the AirBnb location itself wasn’t easy to find. Walked around for 20 minutes with my luggage until I found it.
After finding the AirBnb, we chilled at the top of our Airbnb drinking some wine. Then headed out to dinner at a restaurant called Idol. Had a great view. Details can be found here:

After dinner, we explored the shops around Thira (there were also a lot of bars I would’ve checked out. There were pop up bars that I did go to, where you can order alcohol drinks to go).
