What you gain in February
- ↑Complete absence of tourist infrastructure means you interact with residents, not industry
- ↑The island's volcanic landscape and views are permanent — weather is the only variable
- ↑Good base for day trips to less-visited southern villages: Akrotiri, Megalochori
What you sacrifice
- ↓Even fewer facilities than January in some areas
- ↓Limited dining options — may need self-catering for some meals
- ↓Ferry schedules reduced; travel from Athens less frequent
