The genius part of using the internet.
As others have mentioned, nearly all ATH lounges have been open for awhile now (Extra Schengen Swissport was still closed earlier this week).

There's the A gates for extra Schengen, B gates for intra Schengen and the satellite terminal (Confusingly also with A gates) for low-cost airlines like Ryanair and Easyjet. You'll walk underground from the check-in area through a tunnel to the satellite terminal.

There are stairs (down) in between the two security checkpoints for Schengen and non-Schengen, kind of in between the restaurants there. There's a guard to make sure that you only enter if you hold a valid ticket.

Well, unless your flight to AMS is operated by Transavia, you won't actually be allowed into the tunnel. You need a low-cost flight to be allowed in. A3 and KL both depart from the B gates which is in the main terminal

As far as I know, SN isn't a low-cost airline but too bad they're profiling themself as a low-cost airline by saving costs and choose for the Satellite terminal! Very sad!

That is true for SN. However, you can still pass through the security for B gates and say to the officers that you want to go to the lounge. Then you just need to budget yourself some time in order to go to the A gates.

Haha I guess. For many many years I had been flying KLM from ATH - but in my defense that was before A3 served the AMS route. Now I fly both, though right now with COVID only Aegean due to the obscene prices that KLM charges for business class.

Goldair. Normally its perfectly acceptable as a typical contract lounge, though not on the level of the LH lounge. However, havent been in there since Corona but I believe the reviews here were not too great lately.
