Need some guidance!!

Hi, I am planning a cruise to Greece in a few months, and I do not know where to start.  I know nothing about Greece except it is beautiful and I want to visit!

The cruise leaves from Athens.  I would like to visit Santorini for 1 or 2 days then head to Athens for a day or 2 before boarding the ship.

I would like some advice on where (some links would be appreciated) to search to get my bearings on what there is to see, affordable hotels, transportation etc. 

I know these boards have a wealth of knowledge and I will do plenty of searching once I get a grip on these two cities.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There are travel books specific to Med cruises. They are a great resource.  The books provide detailed info about sights, activities, history, DIY options, tours, etc for the popular ports. 

ie: Rick Steves ... Mediterranean cruise ports,  Ann Vipond    Mediterranean by cruiseship
