I was inspired to this WI by a single post of @ByzantineCaesar where Pedro, duque of Bragança, former emperor of Brasil (as Pedro I) and King of Portugal (as Pedro IV) is offered the Greek throne. I'm not sure if this is realistic or not, but I think it would be cool to see someone else (who's not Othon of Bavaria) take power in Greece. There are four essential PODs in the post before Pedro is even offered the crown:

1) Kapodistrias proceeds to form powerful alliances with important political figures and war heroes, building himself a base of support
2) Kapodistrias survives his assassination attempt
3) Othon dies of an illness in Stockholm
4) Pedro survives his OTL death, and manages a full recovery (apparently).

And then he gets offered the Greek crown, ups and relocates to Greece after beating the Miguelistes and starts a new dynasty there with Amelia of Leuchtenberg.

Can we do this? I think it would be interesting to see, for sure. ByzantineCaesar had some interesting ideas in the post, but never fleshed them out in a full-fledged or even came back to the idea, so if they could climb on board with suggestions that would be equally cool.
