Furthermore, I need accommodation on Chios, and after booking the flight through booking.com I obtained an additional small discount towards my accommodation booking. (The discount was 15%, but I get 10% anyway throu their "Genius" loyalty program.)

Afterwards, I was able to add my A3 booking to my Miles&Bonus account using the A3 app. (I could not figure out how to do that on the A3 website.)
Glad you got it sorted. That is really crazy that you couldn’t book it direct. I’d probably still ring A3 to give them a heads up that it’s not working.
