Martin,

I believe your guess is correct, as the floral engraving design on the blade is typical to yataghans and knives from Greece.

I agree with Theodor,that it is a greek knife made in the late 19th century.
I would say that it is made in Crete ,perhaps the casing is strange for Cretan knife. Could manufacturer an island of the Aegean. I think the Eftihis could say with confidence that has made.
