So why did they divert to EPKK?
Levantes,

probably because the ceiling was 100ft, so at the DA of 200ft
they still couldn't see the runway and executed go around and diversion.

This is what prudent pilots do under such circumstances,
instead on flying blind into the ground and landing on the grass off the runway.

RVR is one thing, DA and ceiling is another.

Just my $0.02 worth...
