For the record, there are three lines in ATH (1. boarding pass 2. customs official 3. security). Having the boarding pass only saves you one of the three.

short connection in ATH and afraid the time I make it to kiosk will be too late for them to print it for me, if not yet checked in.
Landing 8:20 am departing 9:10 am on arkia

Their website says they have from ATH only for passengers who booked through their website not using GDS.
That connection seems very risky as pointed out by mevinyavin.

Seems very tight for separate tickets, especially if you factor in a possible ETA check line.
