Which Italian area is phenotypically closest to Greece?

[Sikeliot]

Alot of Greeks pass further South and in Sicily as well.

Given that there exist distinct Sicilian and South Italian types that might look uncommon for Greece.
This doesn't imply that you have to look like them to pass in Sicily.

Some types of Sicily i have seen look Greek as fuck to me and by this i mean i don't mean only
Greeks from Islands.

In particular Sicilians from Enna and Syracuse but also other parts of Sicilians in individual cases

I don't disagree with this, but they will never look like people in Macedonia or Epirus. The look I think you mean are people who look Peloponnesian or "classic" Greek look, not people with block heads and far spaced eyes like in Thessaloniki.

Yes classical Greek look.

[Sikeliot]

Yes classical Greek look.

Like I can see it if you think there are people like Nia Vardalos in Sicily, but if you expected me to believe Tracy Spiridakos or soccer player Kyriakos Papadopoulos are present except extreme outliers, that's where I disagree.

I mean predominantly Doli Med types and Alpine-Med types plus the stereotypical
classic Greek look that is depicted in ancient Greek freskos and statues.

I can post you examples at some time if you want

One example
The guy on the left hand side reminds me strongly of a cousin of mine who is Maniot Greek

I think it makes sense to say that northern Greeks do not look like southern Italians, Peloponnesians do, and then the islanders look like Sicilians and Calabrese.

[Tauromachos]

I think it makes sense to say that northern Greeks do not look like southern Italians, Peloponnesians do, and then the islanders look like Sicilians and Calabrese.

I would give following ranking from most to least Southern Italian looking.

Half of Islanders>Other Half of Islanders and Peloponnesians>Northern Greeks

But individualy there are exceptions

[Newsboy]

Some regions of Greece like Epirus or Thessaly look little like Italians of any kind though.

Those Greeks have more 'Slavovlach' vibes. But not impossible to find people from these places passable in parts of Italy.

Even in these regions it depends from the sub-region

And Naples is South Italian Mainland
Another ancient Greek colony in Italy"Neapolis"

Another famous man from Naples

You should speak about what you know, Greece and Cyprus. Apart from that you have chosen pics of Bud Spencer (real name Carlo Pedersoli) in which he is very old and fat and with a beard covering his face, but Bud Spencer wasn't fully Neapolitan, his mother was north Italian. But also his real surname is north Italian despite his father was born in Naples.


That's how he looked when he was young and that's how he looked when he was old.

Everywhere from Lazio southwards. The fact this is even a debate is hilarious in itself.
