Athens airport 1-hour connection at normal walking speed
I booked a flight for me and a friend that goes from Tel Aviv to Barcelona. It connects at Athens International (ATH) and leaves us an only an hour for the connection. That is, the flight arrives to ATH exactly one hour before the next (connection) flight departs from ATH. The first leg is Aegean 925 and the second leg is Aegean 712 (so Extra Schengen > Intra Schengen in the Aegean connection terminology)
The problem is, my friend has an injury that prevents her from walking fast, so I want to make sure that an hour would be long enough for the connection assuming normal walking speed.
I talked with both the airline and the airport and the only thing they would say is that the arrival and departure will both take place from the same terminal, and that 55 minutes should be enough. But we have no idea how big the terminal is, and specifically how long it would take from a worst-case scenario arrival gate to departure gate assuming normal (female) walking speed.

Is 1 hour layover enough in Athens?
Re: 1 hour 30 minutes enough for Athens airport layover? If you are happy to pay for a new ticket to the US if things go wrong with your flight from Paros, then 1h40m is OK. Personally, I would take an earlier flight if travelling on separate tickets or even return to Athens a day earlier.What is the minimum connecting time in Athens?
Athens Airport is an "all under the same roof" airport. 1 terminal and all flights commencing from the same spot. Minimum transfer time we advise is two hours. That means avoiding to book a flight with a take off less than two hours after landing time.Is 1 hour enough for domestic connecting flights?
Usually with a domestic flight it can go from half an hour to one hour, and for international flights it can go from one hour to three hours. Most of the times that you are making a connection the gates are next to each other or in close proximity to avoid any missed flights.How long do you need for an airport connection?
Consider allowing at least 60 to 90 minutes for a U.S. domestic connection, and at least two hours for an international connection. Airlines usually allow you four hours or more maximum connecting time.Approach, landing \u0026 taxi at Athens (ATH) - cockpit ✈
