Classify the mayors from the five largest cities/towns in Cyprus and the mayors of the five largest cities/towns in mainland Greece. Please state first of all how similar you think they are, and if you think they are different please point out specific differences. Also please classify and state where they could pass. Much appreciated. Will rep + thumbs up comments. :)

Cypriots:

The Cypriot ones mostly look Berid-East Med. The first two mainland Greek ones look Pontid, while the rest look Alpine and Alpine-Med. The latter look a bit more Continental European than the former, who are more strikingly Mediterranean.

Interesting, aren't Berids supposed to be very Iberian specific?

Peletidis/Patra is Pontic Greek.

Kaminis is from Chios.

Berid usually appears in places that have a prehistoric link to NW Africa. Maybe it's something else in the case of Cypriots that comes out similar.

He was involved in a Football corruption scandal and now he's mayor. :picard1:

Where do you think as a group the Cypriots pass and as a group the Mainland Greeks pass, and do you think they as a whole (all 10) could be part of the same nation?

I think so, but in general I think the Cypriots look more East Med, and the Greeks more Balkan (except the really dark one you said isn't fully Greek).

Well, apparently he's from a Vlach family on one side, but I hear all sorts of rumours he's Jewish/Turkish or whatever.

But I also think the Cypriots look more distinctly Mediterranean and East Med to be specific whilst the mainland Greeks look more distinctly continental European.

They all pass in Sicily, except this one.. very Balkan looking and not in a way familiar to Italy.
