Classify these Pontian Greeks. Do they look more Caucasian, or more Balkan?

I'd say more Caucasian. But there are certainly Balkans that look like this too, so both actually. But probably Caucausian more.

They look somewhat different from Greece Greeks..so Caucasian I think

The reason why some Greeks look like that is because they are of Pontic ancestry, but a Balkanic Greek looks like an Albanian.

Girl on left could pass best in Caucasus the guy somewhat balanced between Balkans and Caucasus, the girl on right side thou definitely could pass as Bulgarian thus Balkanite.

Rather Caucasian

I think there are similarities between the Balkans and Caucasus but IMO Pontic Greeks are a Caucasus people. They are sometimes called "Caucasus Greeks" also, but not often.

A Balkanic Greeks streches from Southern Peloponese to Macedonia and Epirus. Maybe greeks from Epirus might look albanian somehow.

Southern Peloponnese have some Sicilian and Calabrese ancestry, since people were brought in to replace the Slavs once they were expelled from there, but surely some assimilated. But other Peloponnesians look more or less like Epirotes, IMO.
