Athens + Island Hopping in Cyclades - 2 nights in santorini enough?

Hi everyone,
We are a pair of newly weds who are planning our honeymoon to Greece!
It’s not our first time travelling to Europe but will be our first time to Greece.
Our tentative itinerary is
Touchdown Athens 12 June afternoon and thereafter 2 nights stay.
Mykonos (3 nights) – planning to hit the beaches experience the nightlife as well as a tour to Delos.
Naxos – 2 nights
Santorini – 2 nights
Chill out in Athens for a final night before flying home.
Need some feedback regarding the time we are planning to stay in each of the islands, especially for Santorini.
We think 3 nights would be ideal, but it seems that we will have to cut our stay in Naxos to one night and that seems quite hurried; the reason why we added in Naxos was ‘cos we thought it would be a interesting variation from Mykonos and Santorini.
As you can tell we are still quite torn between the choices and 10 nights is already the maximum we can spend due to work commitments.
Any feedback would be wonderful and thanks in advance!
Have you done a search yet? Greece is discussed here quite a bit.
I think your itinerary looks good; I think you’ve made the right choices.
However, ferrying around can be tricky. Have you looked at any of the ferry sites yet?
The distance between islands, and the days/times of ferries, can affect your plans.
One thing you might want to consider is flying out to Santorini, then making your way back by ferry.
