They overlap with mediterranean people from Sicily to middle east.

My ex is a hardcore Omonia fan and she hates APOEL with passion lol.

I used to be a hardcore fanatic Omonia fan and a hardcore hater of APOEL and Anorthosis when I was in high school, but not anymore! I just love my team, that's all. And I support other Cypriot teams when they play in Champions League or Europa League!

Island Greeks, Maltese and Lebanese. A good number are non-Euro looking.

Spaniards and Southern French, I think.

Show examples. I think the 99% of us can pass as mainland or islander Greeks, so where do you see the non-Euro looking? Unless you are talking about the ones in the original post from the summer night clubs who are overtanned. If you see these guys in the winter, they majority of them have pale skin

Being "Euro looking" doesn't just mean lighter pigmentation. There seems to be an "Eastern" look to many Cypriots, from what I've seen.

I didn't get you wrong, I just asked specifically which ones you think they don't look Euro. Because I don't think any of them would find it difficult to pass in Sicily and Malta. We are Eastern Mediterraneans after all, it's natural to look more Eastern from the mainland Europeans.
