Greece Itinerary help please

we are a family of five (older kids) traveling to Greece in the beginning of July. The flight is about 9 hours and we will have jet lag. Based on suggestions online, we are hoping to chill at an island or similar to adjust for 2 nights. We are looking for nice beaches, good food, and some fun things to do. We are open to flying or taking the ferry. Alternatively, we are considering heading to the Sounion area and exploring that area, since Temple of Poseidon is on our list of sites to see.

Our plan for the remainder of our trip is as follows:
Drive to Delphi (1- 2 nights)
Drive to Napflio (3 nights) (considering a 4th night - we are interested in kayaking to the Sunken city - Is that feasible?)
Drive to Athens (return car) - 3 nights in Athens
Fly home

I appreciate any advice and suggestions!
Thank you in advance

With only 2 nights, you'll spend half the first day getting to the island by plane or ferry, only one full day the following day starting to recover from jet lag, and then you'll have to leave the next morning to get to the airport/port to catch a flight/ferry

Before deciding on an island, add at least one more night (preferably two).
