My mum lives on the north coast of Crete 13km from Chania. The Greek authorities seem quite concerned with developments. She has also received an email from the UK government asking to avoid these areas.

We're going to the north coast of Crete for holiday this July 😳

It goes without saying that any eruption there would be problematic. There was a magnitude 3.9 quake there this afternoon (depth 3km) and there have been a number of quakes in the vicinity in recent weeks.
Another area to keep an eye on is Campi Flegrei (by Naples in Italy) as there has been a steady increase in activity there over the last few years and most notably in the last year, as discussed here:
It'll probably blow when I'm there. Murphy's law and all that.
Another eruption is supposidly about to occur in Iceland also.

It looks possible (probable?) that there may be another eruption in Iceland imminently.
According to 'Just Icelandic' recently, this threat was 'cancelled''; though others have said that the longer wait could lead to a bigger eruption. All to play for.

This may lead to an eruption.

This has been attracting clickbait responses for the last month or so, so don't get too excited.
