Greek is a great theme that you could do gorgeous food for!

I think Greek wine has already been covered (although Greeks do drink
beer too).

For food: I would think a meze (Greek version of tapas) buffet would
be good - great for parties, and you can do much of it in advance.
Serve things such as skordalia or taramasalata spreads, marinated
feta, dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), tiropita (phyllo cheese
triangles), olives, marinated peppers, etc.

If you DO grill, try souvlaki - you can marinate & skewer the meat
ahead of time. Easy.

Let me know if you need more ideas. My best friend is Greek, so am
very familiar with the food.

Good luck,
Kris
