Feal free to post any Ionian Islander u find. Their population is about 200 thousands so, they are a relatively small Group in Greece.

But there are at least another 200-400 thousands living in Athens and southern mainland. Especially in Elia, in amaliada area 10% of surnames are from Ionian islands, and even more in patras and nafpaktos

My impression is that at least 500-700 thousands of Greeks have partially, fully or deep Ionian islander ancestry

They look good , dont u find???
A villager from my village has married a woman from Lefkada, and she is so beautifull.

[brennus dux gallorum]

I will start with historical figures from my (maternal) island, Zakynthos (Zante)

Apparently in Ionian Islands there have been (some) Italian "influence", from Southern Italy notably but I believe maybe Veneto more back in time.

Not only Ionian islands had Italian influence. Most of Aegean islands, Crete and Peloponnese (south mainland) had some too, I would say even many parts of Central Greece as well

But certainly neither of them as much as Ionian islands

Yeah I heard about Calabrians or Sicilians emigrating here.

[Anaximander]

They are Greeks though they are not Italians.

[brennus dux gallorum]

There is possibly more admixture from Italy in Cyclades (and according to a friend of me in gastouni in Peloponnese) than Ionian islands, at least if we judge by surnames

[Marmara]

Are you sure they're white enough to be Greeks?

Most of the personalities i have posted are norid +nordo-mediteraneans, according to some in here(Bestworld), norid Phenotype is associated with Slavic people.....Lol!!!!

well, Slavs reached even Crete, They obviously passed from the ionian islands

Slavs in Crete, hahaahahahahah

That is the best joke!!
The slavs were a land based people, they havent been recorded being naval in medieval times. No Slav ever set foot in Greece, apart from some places in Macedonia and Thrace....

[Anaximander]

They are Dorian Aryans Hellenes, exactly like us in the Mainland , namely, Epirotes, Aetolians,Acarnanians, Thessalians and some Macedonians. :cool:

So all of them are basically either blue eyed or light brown and blonde, but autosomally score as Southern as Sicilians and Jews? Interesting

they don't score as sicilians and Jews. That's common in Dodecanese Islands, plus Jews are blonde

Ionian islands results that I have seen are close to Southern mainland, which is genetically like central Italy

[Ion Basescul]

they don't score as sicilians and Jews. That's common in Dodecanese Islands

Then I must have mistaken them for Cretans. Do we have Ionian autosomal data?

[Anaximander]

I suspect light will be more common than mena types there. Their closest population will be Aetolia-Acarnania and Pelloponesians.....

My village in Epirus, we have many Norics and phenotypes like these.

I'd say Ashkenazi Jews on average are lighter than a lot of Southeast Europeans, despite scoring heavily in MENA admixture. That's probably because they interbred a lot within their own communities. That might be the case here too, as it's probably hard to get any outside influence on a small island.

[Tauromachos]

Slavs in Crete, hahaahahahahah

+1

Not all of Ionian Islanders are blue eyed and blonde just the ones Anaxhimmler chooses to post

Thats all the Ionian personalities i know. Can u post other, who are darker?? I f u can u are welcome.

Thessaloniki

Ok fair enough

Yeah i did a classification thread about a Greek singer from Ionian Islands have to look and then i post her

In the meantime take a look here for example(Students from Kefalonia)

[Anaximander]

What i mean is they are closer to Northwestern Greeks, like myself from Epirus and people from Aetolia-Acarnania, than a guy from south aegean islands, phenotypicaly. This is where it is going to get us........

[brennus dux gallorum]

Thessaloniki

Thessaloniki is a very special case and for many reasons and from many aspects, but yes in terms of pigmentation all Greeks are nearly the same

[Tauromachos]

Here are Kefalonian nightclubers with the possibility that foreigners and assimilated Pontic tribesmen migth be included
so maybe not most credible source but whatever

[Avicenna]

Fun fact : Iranics call Greeks "Yunan" which is named after ionan Greeks , apparently they were the first Greeks who contacted them hence why the name stuck .

Yes but Ionian refered rather to the tribe than to Ionian Islands

The first Ionians ,Iranians came in to contact with were probably those living in Asia Minor and around the Black Sea coast(Pontus)

It's more possible that Yunan comes from Ionia (in modern western Turkey)

[Tauromachos]

Here is my thread with the singer https://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?235519-What-does-this-woman-look-like-more/page2

She is from Corfu her name is Vicky Leandros i hope you can get to the thread if you click the link

Here is one picture,perhabs its not the best

Apparently she might have done some lifting:https://is2-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music20/v4/a7/86/3a/a7863ae2-ac2c-c1bf-1909-56c34c79813a/source/1200x630sr.jpg

And Samos and Chios

Two of my professors are from Zakynthos. One is a Dinarid and the other is a light-eyed Alpine Med. Also, one neighbour of mine is from Corfu and he's dark to medium blond with brown eyes with his phenotype being Subnordid.

And my professor (the light-eyed Alpine Med) had two classmates who were from Zakynthos and were platinum blonds naturally.

I also have a woman in the block of flat were i live, she is from Corfu and she has blue eyes and pale skin.
Are they realy lighter than the rest of Greeks?

[Renekton]

Ionian Greeks are the cream buile of Greek society

[aherne]

They look exactly like Turks. No difference whatsoever, except they lack Turanid...

[brennus dux gallorum]

So, according to you they look armenoid, anadolid and Asian alpine instead of Mediterranean and alpine that Greeks usually look

Thanks for your contribution. Where did this look come from in your opinion? Could you enlighten us with your ideas? :D

[Zeno]

So predominantly Atlanto-Med/Pontid, Alpine and CM Greeks are the same as predominantly Armenoid/Anatolid/Turanid Turks? What is wrong with you?
