Probably can't do a "mix" of mainland and islands except Athens for a couple of days.

Everyone says to do 1-2 days in Athens, max, as it is kind of...seedy. Even Rick Steves says it.

I'd do 1-2 days on Athens, and then do some of the Cyclades. it is very cliche, but it is cliche for a reason. Its easy to do and pretty.

Maybe take ferry to Mykonos or Naxos or Paros or Milos, spend a few days in two of those, then 2-3 days in Santorini. If you can fly home out of Santorini or Mykonos (or Crete), all the better.

Mykonos and Santorini will be MUCH more expensive than the other Islands.
