Every single one can pass as any Balkan individually. But as a group, it is obvious that they are Greek.

No diversity. In a group of that size in any Slavic Balkan country you would see a blond, pale skin guy, a Mediterranean-looking guy, a Germanic looking guy etc. In that picture they are all Mediterranean.

It depends on the country, for example in my high school class there wasn't a single blonde or a germanic looking person. Not all south slavic speaking countries are the same.

If you are in Prilep or Gevgelija, yes, they are darker as probably much mixed with greeks and ancient Macedonians throughout history. Go to north and north east of Macedonia. Several members in my direct family have blue eyes. DM me if you need proofs, we can gladly align.

This is really true. I couldn’t put my finger on it but you discribed it. Us Slavic Balkaners are usually more diverse, and to be honest, slightly paler on average. Most of the guys on the photo look like the mediterranean end of the range for what’s usually seen in groups, both regarding the skin color and facial structure.

There is no such thing as Balkan Look. South Slavs Look very different than Greeks, Romanians or Albanians on average, there is some overlap but on group pictures like this you can easily tell them apart. On group pictures i can tell even Croats and Serbs apart.

Its hard to explain but Serbs and Croats have different facial Features, not all of course and there is a big overlap but on group pictures of 5 or more persones i can usually tell who is who. Nikola Jokic for example looks very Serbian to me and i would never gas him as a Croat even if i wouldnt know him, on the other hand Ante Gotovina or Goran Visnjic look exclusively Croatian to me.

The Greek people are a Mediterranean people with Balkan features, mainly in northern Greece. What you see in the photo can also be found in Sicily and Cyprus. There are no Slavic features in Greece from the center of the country and southward. You’ll also find many fair-haired people with blue eyes in Crete. I don’t know how to explain that, though.

This question doesn’t even make sense. You’re asking if these guys “look Balkan” as if those are measurable categories, when in reality neither of those labels means anything concrete. There is no single “Balkan phenotype,” no unified “Balkan look.” You’re just projecting stereotypes onto random faces and then pretending it’s genetics. What’s even weirder is how the whole thread turns into people arguing about who’s “too dark” or “too turkish” to fit some imaginary standard. It’s embarrassing. The obsession with assigning looks to entire nations is wild even more so when you start using appearance as proof of identity.

Not really. But Balkans are very diverse place, maybe more diverse than any such small geographical location, except the Caucasus

No, not Turks. Those are Greek men The easiest test is: pants down, circumcised = Muslim. That makes it easier to figure out which country.

Okay bro, what are you trying to prove? Someone asked what they look like, and I said they look Turkish because of their dark complexion. Why the huge reaction?

Eastern Macedonia and Western Thrace are already more Balkan than the rest of Greece. But for the most part, I would describe Greece as Mediterranean, especially the islands.

Yes but not ex-yu. If you told me they're Bulgarians, Greeks, Romanians or Albanians I'd buy it. But Bosnians or Croatians, no.

No. Different face structure and too brown. Only one guy (first row, second on the right) could pass as Balkan.
