15 Days in Italy and Greece July '14

Dear RS Traveler's helpline, A year from now (July '14) my wife and I will be honeymooning in Europe and have 15 days we plan to split between Italy and Greece. In Greece, we have a connection in Naxos and plan to spend time in Paros (we're interested in spending time in less touristy, islands). In Italy we wish to spend time in Lucca, Siena, Pienza (tour other Tuscan hill towns), maybe Cinque Terre, but not essential. We're Americans but will be starting our travel from London where we'll be for a family affair. We don't want to be in big metropolis's this trip. Both of us have been to Venice, Rome, Florence (we could be talked in to Venice for a night or two if it makes sense as a hub to get to Greece) multiple times. Our wish is for a week in Greece split between the two islands I mentioned, and a week in Italy spent in the towns I mentioned. Would love to get feedback, ideas, inspiration, travel tips from fellow TA travelers of these two beautiful countries. Thanks. AT

Andy, it sounds as if you have 2 weeks of Italy stops, not 1 week. If you have been to Venice previously ( and are willing to not go this time )you can focus on the 4 places mentioned and choose 2 or 3. Have a great trip and a happy married life.
