Flying Boston to Athens covers about 4,740 miles, linking Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) with Athens International Airport (ATH); a nonstop takes roughly 10 hours, with winds moving it either way. Delta carries all of the nonstop award space in the data. Less than 1% of the award options in the data are nonstop, so most results connect.
Boston–Athens is a long-haul trip, so cabin choice shapes the whole booking. The cheapest economy seat connects once; skipping the connection means an economy nonstop on Delta at a higher price.

Premium economy runs about 1.8 times the economy price and business about triple.
