"Looks Greek"! Everything can look Greek. Dark haired Med, Alpine, Dinaro-Med, CM Italians can look Greek, brown haired & brown eyed Bavarians can look Greek, Med brown haired Bulgarians can look Greek, most Scopjans can look Greek to me. Nevertheless what really is Greek? This has been ancwered by Anthropologists. Proto-Greeks belonged to this racial type:
"Early anthropologists commonly believed that the Hellenes belonged principally to the Mediterranean(a) race. This was the view shared by Sergi [1] and Ripley [2]. In a more recent study of the problem of Race, John R. Baker in [5] says that later studies “do not appear to have disproved” these views."

See ancient depictions of Athenians, Mycenaeans and Aegean islanders, those were the proto-Greeks.
Macedonians according to ancient depictions mostly were brown haired not dark haired like Southern, Islander and Eastern Greeks. They had the most Northern admixture being mainly North Pontids and often having central European alike Alpines. I believe racially ancient native Macedonians were not like other Greeks, they were more similar to lighter modern Greeks, mainly having origin from Greek Macedonia and Thessaly and also to lighter Scopjans and lighter Bulgarians(when not having Baltic in them). As I have said I don't know if Scopjans are Macedonians but they are racially very related, obviously, to native Macedonians as well as to ancient Macedonians.
Athens right now is full of Greeks having origins from Macedonia, Thessaly etc. Everywhere I turn my head I see medium to light brown young men and girls having dark to black haired girls or boyfriends as mates. Lol, goodbye Classic Med Athens forever!!! Athens has been massively Macedonized and Thessalized!
