Hello,
We are flying to Athens nonstop on Delta Airlines from Boston in late September. Our flight is scheduled to arrive at 12:30PM. We are planning to fly to Naxos after arrival. There is a connecting flight on Olympic Airlines at 2:15PM, and 4:30PM. Can we make the 2:15PM connection or should we book the 4:30PM flight? This is my 1st trip to Greece and I appreciate your comments and suggestions. Thanks so much!

It is doable but a bit risky.
if your Delta flight is more than 30 minutes late and you have checked baggage you will likely miss the 2:15 p.m.
Delta has a partnership agreement with Sky Express, the other domestic Greek airline that operates Athens-Naxos flights and it is possible to book a Boston-Naxos flight with one ticket.

We always plan a connecting flight with a 2 hour time frame. chance are if everything goes perfectly you can make that connection but if you miss it thats not good.
I would follow up on Joe's suggestion if you can make you flights on one ticket with affiliates airlines then its their responsibility to get you on the next flight.
