Do You Consider Greece A Balkan Country?

[stellan]

This girl on Instagram was saying that Greece is ia Balkan country and people were agreeing so what do you guys think? Geographically ig it is in the Balkans but culturally I don't consider it a Balkan country, but that could be bc my family's from Peloponnese bc my friend who's from Thessaloniki said she connects more with Balkan countries rather than the Mediterannean so idk

1. Which are the countries for which the Greeks feel the most affinity?

2. Greeks - Macedonians relationships are that bad as they say?

Other southern European countries, mainly Italy and spain i think. I know a lot of greeks like serbians too bc they're orthodox.

1. For me it is Serbia definitely
2. Not really, it's just a name issue I guess.

Genetically speaking all people in the Balkans are related to one another, that is why a DNA test gives you a result of "Greece & the Balkans". The Serbs and Croats and Bosnians etc are mostly Slavicized natives of a similar stock to Greeks. I think Southern Greece and Peloponnese connect more with Italians and Spaniards and Northern Greeks more with the Balkan culture.

[Mortimer]

Both yes and no

Without Greece, there is no Balkan peninsula. They are the end of the peninsula itself.

The better question is where the Balkans start. Is it Slovenia or Croatia? Is Moldova part of it, or excluded.

No.
