A focused population profile of Greeks from Kastellorizo, their far eastern Dodecanese background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Greeks from Kastellorizo come from a small island at the far eastern edge of the Dodecanese, near the southern Anatolian coast. Kastellorizo has a history of maritime trade, Greek island communities, Ottoman and Italian periods, wartime displacement, and large diaspora communities in Australia and elsewhere.
Greek is the main language. Because this reference has a small sample size and comes from a very specific island, it should be compared carefully with Symi, Rhodes, Karpathos, Greek Cyprus, Kos, Kalymnos, Lycaonia/Ikonio Greeks, Turkish Cyprus, and Chios.
As a genetic reference, Greek Dodecanese Kastellorizo is useful for comparison with Symi, Rhodes, Karpathos, Greek Cyprus, Kos, Kalymnos, Greek Lycaonia Ikonio, Nisyros, Turkish Cyprus, and Chios.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Greek Dodecanese Kastellorizo is Greek Dodecanese Symi. Other nearby references include Greek Dodecanese Rhodes, Greek Cyprus, Greek Dodecanese Karpathos, and Greek Dodecanese Kos. This gives the Greek Dodecanese Kastellorizo profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Kastellorizo Greek is best interpreted as a far eastern Dodecanese island profile, close to Symi, Rhodes, Karpathos, Cyprus, Kos, Kalymnos, Lycaonia Greeks, Nisyros, and Turkish Cypriot references.
The heatmap should emphasize Kastellorizo, Symi, Rhodes, Karpathos, Cyprus, Kos, Kalymnos, Nisyros, southern Anatolia, and the far eastern Aegean.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Greek Dodecanese Symi. Other nearby references include Greek Dodecanese Rhodes, Greek Cyprus, Greek Dodecanese Karpathos, and Greek Dodecanese Kos.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Greek Dodecanese Symi is the closest listed match to the Greek Dodecanese Kastellorizo average after removing Greek Dodecanese Kastellorizo itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Greek Dodecanese Kastellorizo G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
