No, it is not enough. If you have to switch from one plane to another, you should have at least two hours. Not only for you, but also for your luggage. If you have only one one hour, maybe you will be able to catch the next plane, but maybe your luggage will not make it!
How long is customs in Athens? As a general rule 1hr is usually more than enough to clear immigration and get your bags unless there's a huge number of inbounds at the same time. I'd say you're OK with 2 hours between flights everything by going well with more time obviously better.
Overall, passengers usually have to re-clear security for connecting flights, though there may be some exceptions depending on the airport and flight itinerary. To make this process easier, checking with the airline or airport ahead of time is recommended.
For international layover flights booked on one airline, two hours is often recommended to make your connection. For international flights on different airlines, the connection time will need to be even greater as you may have to change terminals between the two flights.
You could make connection for less than 40min time between the flights if they are Schengen-Schengen or NonShcengen-NonSchengen. You need at least 1h if your flights are NonSchengen-Schengen or vice versa, because you have to exit the zone and do all the checks as passangers from A to B (flying directly) does.
When you're connecting from an international flight to a domestic one, you'll always have to exit and reenter security as you'll need to go through customs and immigration (unless you have gone through preclearance aboard, which is rare).
Customs and immigration are usually required at the connecting airport for international flights. You don't always have to for domestic flights. In most cases, passengers on layover flights must clear customs and immigration at the first point of entry.
