Probably to Italy. Her Greek ancestry, Magna Graecia, is distant. Unless you search for history, the average person is not aware of Southern Italy - Greek conection.

It is distant.

Sarno et al study found evidence of southern Balkan immigration into Apulia, Lucania, and far west Sicily, but found that Calabria and the rest of Sicily have little genetic signal from southern Balkan populations. This would mean it was very far back.

But then we also have to remember there are some Italian-like Greek populations (Crete, Dodecanese) also. If looking at a PCA plot, Apulia and Dodecanese would appear to trade places -- Apulia would look like a part of Greece genetically, while Dodecanese would look like an extension of Calabria.
