Actually it won't work for anybody!
The only solution would be to fly to a Greek island for a few days and do a few flights to Athens and back...that would be possible for those that can only stay in the area for a few days. Obviously they'd need to top up miles with a longhaul or other Star Alliance carriers.
For me 12 A3 flights is doable, but it would change my flying pattern, so I may look at other programmes.
