Indeed it was a pressurization problem and the flight lost some height due to the rapid depressurization while over Greece. Captain declared an emergency and requested to land in Athens. Plane did a normal landing on rwy 21L at around 15:30L. Here is a picture of it's landing:



183 passengers and 9 crew were on board.
