Aegean flies primarily within Europe so if the flight originated in an EU nation then EU rules would apply here. What's puzzling is that I tried to find information about flight 3833 (origin, destination, etc) but it doesn't seem to exist. As a matter of fact I checked Aegean's published time table and most of their flight numbers are 3 digit and the few 4 digit flight numbers are in the one-thousand range (1XXX). Aegean doesn't seem to assign flight numbers in the three-thousand range (3XXX). So what's up with this?

Aegean's 2-letter IATA designator is A3 so an itinerary or e-ticket confirmation would show A3XXX for the flight number. Perhaps the OP is confused and thinks the 3 is part of the flight number? I'm wondering if it was A3833 which would be Aegean flight 833? If so it would have been a flight from Frankfurt to Athens which is intra-EU therefore provisions of the Montreal Convention would apply for lost baggage.
