How do Corfiots compare to other Greeks?

[brennus dux gallorum]

Thanks Would an East Med appearance in a Corfiot suggest ancestry from other parts of Greece or Asia Minor?

Yes for sure, there have been immigrations from Crete, epirus and peloponnese, as well as from the rest of Ionian islands

In a sense of truly "East Med" looking I don't even think all the Aegean islands look this way. I think North Aegean people and the Cyclades look standard South European, but with Balkan influences and probably a subdued Levantine influence, but much weaker than in Dodecanese, Crete, or far South Italy.

Yes, that's why i said southeast Aegean in my first post

Do you think these people could have non-Corfiot ancestry?

Well, all corfiots have some non corfiot ancestry, and i guess the same goes for all Greeks.

A lot of alpines from my exp with people from Corfu and Leukada.They look greeks but some individuals can look more balkan and have fair/blonde hair with blue/grey eyes etc.

Are their looks normal for people with only Corfiot ancestry?

Yes they could pass Mainland Greece, Central Italy. Dinaro Med for the first, Atlanto/Med second and Alpine third.

Probably closer to those on the Adriatic coast from Marche down to Apulia.

I group Greeks into the following groups and I'd like to know if others agree:

1. Balkan looking, some Slavic influence but more "Med" than Balkan Slavs: Epirus, Thrace, Thessaly, Macedonia
2. Generally South European looking but with Balkan influences: Peloponnese, Central Greece, Ionian islands, Cyclades, North Aegean
3. "Sicilian" or "South Italian" looking, which includes Levant influences: Crete, Dodecanese, Cyprus, Anatolian Greeks
4. West Asian looking in full: Pontians and Cappadoccian Greeks from Anatolia

I do not agree with the first option. Because Greeks from those regions are not similar to the Balkans. It's highly overrated. On the contrary though, they have their own look. You will not find many Epirots or Thessalians looking like Bulgarians or Serbs. And I consider them Balkan. There are some slight differences though between them and the South Greeks, but I find it too simplistic to ascribe it to Slavs. South Greeks have more Minoan(-like) influence I think. As do South Italians.

South Peloponnesus is grouped with Aegean islands, belonging in the Aegean variety. South Italians and Sicilians, these beautiful looking people of the Mediterranean, do not have much levantine infuences, same goes for Crete(they have some Armenian influence as some Armenians settled in the islands and some few levantine) and Anatolian Greeks did not have levantine influences at all, just a small Armenoid West Asian influence, besides that Anatolian Greeks have been assimilated by mainland Greeks here and 100 years. Pontians and Cappadoccian Greeks are not West Asian looking in full and never were.

You are a hater of all these people, nobody must show trust to you, you sound like a Nordicist broken record who post fake photos of someone else claiming you are a Med gay and attacking Greeks by all ways! "You are levantine, West Asian, Slav mongrels..." and so on! Your hateful obsession with Greeks and South Italians is clear.

Instead posting fake photos of someone else, say who you really are, your name and surname, if you dare impostor!
