UA do offer one-way awards, but no stopover on those.
But wouldn't that imply that the OP is considering setting up his primary *A account on Aegean? I mean, I don't disagree that it's a benefit, but it sounds more like a benefit to flying US metal vs. UA metal if your native program is Aegean.

(I know nothing about Aegean...feel free to correct me if I'm misunderstood this.)
