That Greek Macedonians would be closer to Bulgarians than Southern Greeks is self-explaining by looking at a geographical map, the point is that there is nothing specific in Greek Macedonians as a whole that separates them from a gradient moving towards Thessaly and ending up in Crete. You don't get to Cyprus when you cross Olympus.

Slavic effect in Greece should therefore be studied as a whole in the medieval as unlike Vardar claims there is nothing that separates Greek Macedonian from other Greeks that cannot be explained via geographical proximity.
