ATH Olympic Airways Aristotle Onassis Lounge [contracted]

Athens Olympic Airways Aristotle Onassis Lounge

Emirates First/Business Class passengers departing from ATH are entitled to use this lounge. It is located at the far end of the non-schengen departure area, near gate A13 (which is usually the EK departure gate), before security and after passport control.

Food and Beverage

A small choice of alcoholic drinks, including greek Metaxa, Ouzo and Wine, is offered for self-service at the bar.
A coffee machine and a Nescafé machine are available.
A choice of canned beer, canned soft-drinks and juices in Tetra Paks is available from refrigerators below the bar.
A choice of sweet and salty (cold) greek-style snacks and packaged nuts is available
Hot food options include light bites such as spring rolls and stuffed potatoes (read the warning below)

Services
Free internet is available for one hour from the aiport's own WiFi (SSID: WiZ-free)
A small conference room and business center are available

Other
While the lounge is quite small (seating around 50 to 70 people), it is used by a number of airlines. Around departure time of EK106 it is almost empty.
There is an attendant available to collect your waste and to re-fill the buffet.
[Personal opinion] The hot buffet options seem to be heated in a microwave oven (even the deep-fried ones) and they are of inferior quality. Visitors who are hungry should consider getting a bite at one of the bars located next to the lounges.
