I have a transit in Athens and am not sure how to handle it or which lounges to look at, if any..
Coming in from Georgia on a very early morning Aegean flight - so that's non-Schengen to Schengen..
Departing from Athens to Bordeaux on another Aegean flight, same PNR - so that's Schengen to Schengen.
I'm assuming my bag can be checked straight through?
The ticket doesn't specify which arrival or departure terminal or hall for these flights. Any hints on what the transit will involve?
The total transfer time is only just over an hour, so I may well have no time to visit a lounge anyway, but it would be good to put my feet up for a while if possible. Any lounge suggestion? I am KF Silver, but have no status on Aegean, and travelling in Y.

Just got back from Athens... yes, your bag will be checked through. People travelling intra-EU on your Bordeaux flight get a different baggage tag. Bordeaux is an international airport so it has a Customs facility - if it wasn't, different rules can apply.

Athens airport is one big terminal with a Schengen end (the B gates) and an international end (the A gates). (There is a small satellite of A gates but I'm not sure who they serve). You will just follow the EU connections signs which should only be a few minutes walk, there are only a dozen or so gates in each of A and B.
