In Greece no one would doubt he is Greek but would question his ancestry or background. Mainlanders would instantly think he is from Asia Minor.

Maybe he does. But I associate this look with Levantine Arabs, like the more Arabian-mixed Lebanese people, and even Egyptians.

This is a very Greek look to me (Billy Zane, whom he looks similar to):

I do not think he looks particularly Greek as in someone from Athens. He looks Cypriot.

No, I don't think he looks exotic for a Greek.

He doesn't look particularly Greek. I wouldn't guess him as Greek personally. He passes but he's not one of the stereotypical looks
