    Maybe compare to sicilians, but Greeks don't have these extreme southern phenotypes. Also, again judging by tourists, all these cases looked quite intermediate to me (maybe except of Welsh, you surely know them better)

    BTW why did you thumb me down? I mean it's OK to share opposed views but thumbs down is kinda "violent", you know I personally don't thumb down except for cases of personal insults

    In what world would countries like Slovenia and Croatia be intermediate? I mix up Croats and Albanians here in Sweden a lot, whilst it's easy to tell the difference between Croats and Swedes.

    I thumbed you down by mistake - I was meant to thumb you up. I know Greeks are not quite as Southern as Sicilians, but the difference isn't that great compared to them either.

    As far as France, you know I disagree that they look strongly Mediterranean.
    But when I was in Paris, I have seen more Mediterranid, Alpinid, Dinarid and also Orientalid faces than Nordid, Norid and North Atlantid ones.

    Plus, Greece is not predominantly Mediterranean. There are lots of Dinarid or Alpinid faces among Greeks.

    Lol OK

    As for the last I agree, but I think that the "Greek Swedish border" is at least French and Italian Swiss, along with Slovakians

    Czechs on contrary are clearly on Swedish part, I guess German speaking Swiss as well

    More than 50% of Greeks are Mediterranean, so what are you talking about?

    Dude, I live here and with the exception of specific regions Which hardly make up 10% of the population, Mediterranean is majority everywhere, if not vast majority

    only sources that estimate nordish as 5% would give such a percentage (which I think is smaller), and if we exclude pontians who are not racially Greek, percentage is even higher
