We finalized our various reservations for our trip to Greece and two of the islands, Naxos and Santorini. We leave April 19 and return May 4. The first week will be spent in Athens and include a couple of day trips. The second week includes 4 nights in Naxos and three in Santorini. With recent seismic activity in Santorini, we're considering a plan change where we opt for a different island and make plans that would be completely refundable closer to the time of travel. In essence we would have plans for two different islands, Santorini and X, and make the choice of which island to actually go to much closer to the actual travel dates. We do have travel insurance. Based on available information about the seismic activity, it quite likely will have dissipated by the time we arrive - Santorini is at the very end of our trip.
Two things we have planned for Santorini are a caldera hike from Fira to Oia and an island tour ending with sunset in Oia. Is there another island that might provide similar experiences or even a preferable island with other experiences? We are also doing a hike to the summit of Mt Zeus on Naxos so we enjoy being active. We are not really into beaches/swimming nor are we seeking an exciting nightlife.
