So yes, IST is currently viable.

ATH, one of the myriad of other locations you mentioned, certainly is not - at least, not in the format I’m sure you’d like it to be. Greece currently has a mandatory quarantine and a requirement for a negative PCR test prior to travel. Your bargain BAH deal suddenly wouldn’t be such a bargain, let alone managing the logistics of getting the test whilst potentially in quarantine on your return from a country not in the travel corridor list.

On 1st January, given you’d be relying on your UK passport to enter the European countries, the circumstances may well change yet again depending on the result of the ongoing Brexit negotiations between the UK & EU.

If you were really only interested in IST, then just ask about that. It merely muddies the waters to throw in other places.
You are right, IST is definitely doable, ATH is too bureaucratic, but I can still get in. As I have already written, I do have a EU passport as well, so I would not rely on the UK passport to enter the EU in 2021. Please read my posts carefully before assuming they "muddy the waters". Thank you.
