Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Lounges

No Priority Pass lounge

Greece PP country index lists ATH/CFU/HER/JMK/RHO/SKG only — KLX omitted.

Third-party VIP mentions lack official hours/access programmes — open lounge rows omitted.

Layout

F&B

Café + Duty Free (HCAA)

Refreshment-café +30 27210-63833; Duty Free +30 27210-69576.

Expect limited airside choice versus larger Greek hubs — plan accordingly in peak charter season.

HCAA info +30 27210-63805; confirm bus/taxi live rather than third-party fare grids.

~60 parking bays on HCAA page; overnight outside operating hours prohibited.
