There are 7 islands close to Athens and plenty of companies doing day trips to 2-3 of them where you get to spend an hour on each. You’re not going to find a huge amount of culture on the islands apart from the Temple of Aphaia on Aegina so you may want to get the ferry and spend a couple of nights on Aegina. Then you could take ferries from there to the other islands such as Hydra and Poros and eplore them.

From Athens take a day trip to Delphi and a sunset trip to Cape Sounion for culture, or rent a car and do them yourself and stay near Delphi for a night as it’s a long way from Athens.
