7 hour layover in FRA is not that bad - you can easily go for a trip to the city.
Is there anything that even with an extra connection in Europe would shorten the FRA layover? Do a separate search for ATH-FRA and see whats available.

There's also some other AC flights from Europe from other cities, other than Athens, that I believe are mainline rather than rouge. Are they somewhat acceptable, or do you still advise staying away from AC?
