Where do these Greeks from Chios fit best?

The last one looks much like you.
I've seen some similar people on Crete, very strong Greek vibe among many of them.
I voted for Bulgaria as they're very non-Middle Eastern looking unlike Sicilians or Lebanese (somehow by default).

Funny thing is these are islanders. I usually expect islanders to look Sicilian and of these, I think these ones look strongly Sicilian:

while most of the rest to me look Balkanic.

I agree with Roys, these Greeks don't look Middle Eastern. Geographical proximity has nothing to do with it. They mainly look Bulgarian/Fyromian.

Some could even fit in Spain. The third guy in the 3rd row as well as the first guy in the last row for instance. I remember seeing them on other threads and they get mistaken as Spanish before you revealed that they're Greek.

Well Greeks, even islanders, have a Nordic component to them that is even surprising at times given their geography. Many Cretans are blue eyed and light.

I agree. On other sites, some people assume that Greeks would look Middle Eastern because they're geographically 'close' to them. To me, the vast majority don't look like Middle Easterners!

It's only online that people think that. I've never heard it in real life.

If anything I am surprised by how light some Cretans are given how geographically close they are to Egypt, Libya, and the Levant yet they look nothing like them on average.

Yeah Crete is relatively close to Egypt and Libya, but not really the Levant.

I guess geographical proximity has nothing to do with the way they look. China is close to South Asia but Chinese people don't look South Asian.
