6k miles left M&B, what to do with it.

moved to other airlines while back, i have about 6k miles left in M&B, can i transfer them out to other programs, or use them for hotel outside of Greece? not planning to travel to Europe in near future.

I can't think of any sensible way to use them.
Even the cheapest one-way economy awards (on *A partners) are priced at 12.5k miles.
Transferring out of M+B is not possible.
The only sensible thing to do would be to transfer them to sb else that could use them I guess.

6k really is an awkward amount, since it's not nothing but not enough for anything really.

I would take them. I might pay the transfer fee + a bit more

(S)he has them already, her/his question is what to do with them! Moreover, there is no transfer fee to be paid to anybody since you can't transfer them to another FF program.

There is transfer fee of 19€ when you move the miles within Miles and Bonus and that's what I was thinking that he might do?

How about donating them to a good cause? The amount is pretty much too low to do anything useful with it

What exactly do you mean by "moving miles within Miles and Bonus"?

Top up your account from Bonvoy or Heathrow Rewards or Rocketmiles bonus booking (rocketmiles.com/first) or a combination of these and use for a star alliance flight anywhere in the world.

You can transfer miles between accounts (outside of pooling) for 15 EUR per transaction.
Maximum transaction amount is 50,000 per year (sending and receiving).

Do you have a close friend who is a Gold member? They could add your account to theirs as a "Together" account, thus getting your reward miles added to theirs.

wait for a mileage deal and top up for a redemption
or, wait for an Aegean discount award campaign and book something within Europe on Aegean.
or, donate the miles
or, let me add you to my Together account and I take over your miles for a good cause..
lots of options.
