Dont bother with Santorini if you want a beach. They have a black sand and pink sand one that is neat but not the best. Amazing view is the real draw there.
For good a beach I would go with Mykanos and they have good dining and a great nightlife too. As long as you are comfortable with the gay crowds you would like it. The island of Delphi is a day trip destination only but it is a great way to see old greek ruins (highly recomend)
My favourite greek island is Crete as it has a little of everything. Palm tree beaches,ancient cities, museums, snow capped peaks, if you like hiking the gorge is great too.
If you want to party like a rock star,enjoy great beaches and ancient towns then Ibiza, Spain is the place. I lived there for a year and had a great time. Word of advice if you go there you will wish you didn't bring your wife.
