From the genetic results from northern Greece that I have seen, they are closer to Serbs than to Cretans.

Genetically, with the exception of Croatia and Bosnia, all are closer to Greece and central Italy
Is that what you mean closer? If not, make it more clear
No. Inner anatolians who make up half of anatolian population

Except those from Smyrna maybe. But I’m not sure.
A significant number of Anatolian Greeks came from western Turkey. But they still had a similar culture with Turks.

No they are not^
In case you are talking about Asia Minor Greeks from West and North West Anatolia Ionia,Bythinia,Constantinople,Bursa they are pretty much same with
to Aegean Island Greeks and for that matter to Cretans also pretty close.
This you can see also easily in any of the genetic studies conducted like Sarno and the others if care reading them at all .
Anatolian Greeks are also sampled there
separately from native Mainlanders and they cluster with other Greek populations and South Italian ones as do the other Greeks.
Predominantly with Greeks from the Aegean Island and after that at second placee even with Mainland Greeks
The Talmud tells us that the only language the Torah could be translated into elegantly is Greek.

Geographically close i mean. Which usually means some historical cultural connections as well.
But modern Greeks are not very "West Asian", like you pointed out. I personally don't know much about this thing, but it seems like they had more connections to West Asia back then.

What genetic results?
Apricity results posted by Dr Sikeliot?
Serbs don't cluster with any Greek population
The only South Slavs that cluster with North Greeks and can be closer to them then Sicilians or Cretans are,are Bulgarians

OK now I read your first post
Since you are asking about Greeks it depends on which Greeks you are talking about
All Greece has 3 different sources of influence, with different proportions of each of them: southwest Europe, Balkans and near east (byzantine and oriental)
Southern half of mainland is closer to Mediterranean Europe, but with Balkan and minor "oriental" influence
The same goes for the islands, with a little more southwest influence
Northern half is closer to Balkans, with significant oriental impact but nearly zero southwest influence
Inner Anatolians are associated with orient, meanwhile western Anatolians are associated with southwestern Europe
As for Balkans, I would say central Europe in general, but when northern Greece exclusively considered, I think closer to South Europe
Maybe southern Balkans are closer to South Europe
