Are you asking for the easiest way or what to do? Easiest way is to fly. I took the ferry from Piraeus. See http://wilhelmswords.com/eur2006/index.html - Idling Through the Islands for things to do.
If you like hiking, Samaria Gorge (Chania region) is beautiful and a wonderful way to spend a day. Near Heraklion, Knossos felt a bit overrated (too rebuilt), but we really enjoyed Phaistos.
Overall, the food was incredible and inexpensive. Enjoy!
We flew from Athens to Chania and back.
