Budget 2.5–3 hours after EES
For Hall A long-hauls, treat 2.5–3 hours as the floor; Schengen/domestic still needs a buffer for bag drop.
Match Hall A/B before you clear security
Schengen = Hall B; non-Schengen = Hall A after passport control—wrong hall means no lounge and a wasted walk.
Eat Greek airside, not generic chains first
Hit Eat Greek (Schengen platea) or Ergon (non-Schengen) for real gyros/Greek plates before you settle for Starbucks.
