    Which group of Greeks are Albanians closest to? Do Bulgarians and Romanians have an affinity with any Italian populations?

    That doesn't mean it is true for the rest of the Peloponnese.

    No, it's that they descend from a common base and both received Near Eastern input absent on the mainland.

    They don't, in spite of some cretan settlements there. Most of them are pretty native, and there is even a colony of kythera, with most of the people having surnames from there

    Greeks dislike to associate with us.

    One of the Greeks called us Subhuman cause we are poor.

    ROFL..

    Greeks just don't feel related with South Slavs, we don't dislike you.

    Btw, which Greek called you subhumans?
