If I understand correctly, Volotea is an LCC (maybe even a ULCC) and Aegean is a "legacy." Super interesting they've decided to codeshare with each other.

The fun fact is that Volotea on their cheapest fare allow 2 pieces in cabin (big + small item) but Aegean in their GoLight allow just one piece. That said, the mapping of fares from A3 to VO is done on either "Saver" category or "ComfortFlex". Both include checked baggage and the difference seems to be on the ticket change/cancellation possibility (there is also a "snack" category but it's said that it depends on the carrier. For VO codeshare on A3 operated flights, similarly the fare includes checked baggage.
Fun fact indeed! Though it would seem Volotea presently requires passengers who have not purchased their "Priority Boarding" to check their larger cabin baggage. It's free of charge, but their website also suggests the max weight of these two pieces (personal item + larger cabin bag) is 10kg.
Your point is still correct that Volotea offers a bit more baggage, but it's not exactly the same thing as "2 pieces in cabin for free" as some airlines around the world would offer. (I mean of course not, it's an LCC haha.)
