All regions are closer to Sicily than to Balkan people.
All regions are closer to Balkan people than to Sicily.
The mainland is closer to Balkan people, the islands closer to Sicily.
The north to Balkan, Peloponnese to central-south Italy and the Aegean islands/Crete to Sicily.
The mainland is closer to central-south Italy further north, while the islands are closer to Sicily/Calabria. None of them are comparable to Balkan.

In that case I would say you could group Molise, Abruzzo, Apulia, and Lucania together, and then Campania, Calabria, and Sicily together. Though I think parts of Campania might be more like Lazio. Sardinia is in its own category. Also, for what it is worth, I do think the notion of Armenoid Sardinians is ridiculous.

Tell this to DarknessWin who said it in some threads.
Anyway I don't see any reason to divide Southern Italy as if it is somewhat different when you can find similar looking people in all regions. Of course there are local types, but most Sicilians can pass in Abruzzo and vice-versa. It's not like some guy from L'Aquila is walking around Trapani and people will notice him, it's absurd.

Hard to say.
Since Island Greeks are usualy considered here as Southern Italian looking
I will leave them out and explain what i think about Mainland Greeks.
I think as a whole Greek Mainlanders look more similar to their Greek cousins from Islands and Crete than to Non Greek Balkan people
Thus more Southern Italian than Balkan

I think if you're comparing country to country or region to region then I think you'd have to say mainland Greeks as a whole (with the possible exception of Macedonia) resemble Central Italians with Islanders closer phenotypically to Sicilians possibly. I'm not sure I buy into the notion that Thessalians for example look more like Bulgarians than Peloponnesians look like Central Italians. If that were the case then why do so many Peloponnesians cluster so close to Thessalians? As far as Balkanites are concerned where are the examples to compare to?
