Seating options include couches as well as designer chairs which offer a comfortable amount of privacy. Amenities include a massage area (though it’s only open on a limited basis), workstations with computers, and a smoking room.
The food selection is limited to basic sandwiches, cookies and mini-donuts – which is unfortunate considering that the lounge serves several long-haul flights. A range of wines and alcoholic beverages is also available.
Overall, the Swissport Executive Lounge at Athens airport delivers on the basics, but is bound to be a disappointment to passengers of Etihad, Qatar and SWISS, who are used for far higher standards.
Note that the Swissport lounge serves Aegean’s customers departing on flights outside the Schengen zone. The Aegean Business Lounge is located in the Schengen zone and off-limits to non-Schengen passengers.

Overall ratings
Had to wait at front desk, grumpy receptionist. Lounge very crowded. Not enough seating as benches were taken over by sleeping people stretched out over multiple seats. Air conditioning was non-existent and therefore the room was very stuffy. There was a fish tank, one fish was floating belly-up and the rest did not look too healthy. Food selection was limited, and serving area not too clean. I was travelling business class with Etihad who do not have their own lounge in Athens.
I don’t get the negativity on this lounge. Visited May 8, 2018, and found it very solid. Hot buffet station, sandwiches, pastries (both sweet and savory), yogurts, fridge filled with soft drinks, spirits (including ouzo) and white/red wines (1 of each) available. There is no longer a smoking area available. No showers either. But you could do worse in European lounges (and it’s certainly vastly better than American lounges).
Very poor…since the last 3 years no improvements or at least an image restatement…:poor food poor drinks…served at lowest quality cutlery…even glasses are IKEA….no comments for WC
