I did a similar trip a few years ago only I booked different ferries to go from one port to the next and could stay a few days at each destination. Since you only have a few hours at each place I would suggest to focus on 1-2 things at each place:
- Athens: Do visit the Acropolis. It is a nice climb and the place is just unbelievable. then you can walk around the traditional Plaka neighbourhood at the feet of the Acropolis and enjoy the Greek restaurants and scenic area
- Mykonos: Walk around the port and visit the souvenir shops and Greek restaurants. There are more counterfeit goods in those shops than in Canal Street in NYC. If you want to go to the beach take a cab to Paradise Beach to watch drunken italians partying hard. Fun to see
- Santorini: See the volcanic area from Fira and, if possible, the sunset (together with half the tourists in the island). For a local attraction you may want to take the donkey to climb the path from the harbour to the city. Also there are boat trips to the volcanic areas including a suset cruise
- Naples: Either Capri or Pompeii are great day trips. If you have to choose I'd do Pompeii since Capri is very similar to the Greek islands you have already visited and Pompeii is an opportunity to walk around a Roman city as it was in Roman times, simply amazing. You do not need to see Naples itself except maybe for the castle near the harbour
- Rome: To many things to see, too little time. Colosseum, Roman forum, Vatican city (no shorts allowed inside St. Peter's), Pantheon, Fontana di Trevi, Spanish Steps (the ones in rodeo Drive are a copy of these). Just walk around and enjoy the view (and the food!!!)
If you want to discuss your plans send me a PM and I will give you more details.
