    They're the southernmost extent of what is European but oddly enough Calabria on the mainland is actually darker.

    Not sure but if Romania isn't closer to Sicily then Iberia definitely isn't since Sicilians are closer related to Romanians than to Spanish.

    I don't understand why some of you think that closely related groups which are very similar in terms of eye/hair color distribution like Serbs, Bulgarians, Croats, Romanians and people of Bosnia can be divided so easily, especially between so contrasting regions like Sicily and Russia.
    I really don't think that Balkan people come close to any of these.
    People of former Yugoslav republics are very close to Bulgarians and Romanians. Saying some fit better in Russia and others in Sicily is as inaccurate and utterly wrong as saying that Spaniards are more similar to Swedes and Portuguese to Moroccans, to point how ridiculous such claim is.

    Tough one but here goes...

    Sicily: All of South Europe (including Cyprus) and Balkans (including Romania and Croatia)

    Russia: Finland, Baltic States, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, and Slovakia

    Britain: Scandinavia (excluding Finland), Benelux, Germany, France, and Ireland.

    Austria, Switzerland, and Slovenia I'm not so sure

    I definitely do not think Croatians look more Sicilian than Russian.

    Well fair enough. Let's agree to disagree.

    The first two closer to Britain, the latter closer to Russia (though isn't really like any of the three).
