>>>>>>Ios (that's where you go before you get married ,)

I definitely agree with this statement!

>>>>>>To be safe, if I were in their position I'd go to a boat ticket office (they are everywhere and advertise themselves prominently) as soon as I got to one island and buy tickets for the next island (or Athens.)

Right on with this statement too!

I think that's way too much hopping for a honeymoon and having to deal with, what can be sometimes unpredictable ferry boat schedules, in Greece. But all the islands and hotels you booked sound wonderful, the wife should thank you if all the moving around does not get to her:-)

Whenever I see Ios I wear a big smile from all the great memories in the summer of 1986. My goal was to buy a bar there but then....I got married and had two kids, lol
