A focused population profile of Greeks from Nisyros, their Dodecanese island background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Greeks from Nisyros come from a small volcanic Dodecanese island between Kos and Tilos, near the southwestern Anatolian coast. Nisyros has ancient Greek, Byzantine, Ottoman, Italian-administered, maritime, and modern Greek island layers.
Greek is the main language. Nisyros should be read as a Dodecanese island profile, with close comparisons to east Crete, Kalymnos, Chios, Kos, Lasithi, Heraklion, Cretan Turk, and Reggio Calabria.
As a genetic reference, Greek Dodecanese Nisyros is useful for comparison with east Crete, broad Crete, Kalymnos, Chios, Heraklion, Lasithi, Cretan Turk, Kos, Central Euboea, and Reggio Calabria.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Greek Dodecanese Nisyros is Greek Crete East. Other nearby references include Greek Dodecanese Kalymnos, Greek Crete, Greek Crete Lasithi, and Greek North Aegean Chios. This gives the Greek Dodecanese Nisyros profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Nisyros Greek is best interpreted as a Dodecanese island profile, close to Crete, Kalymnos, Chios, Kos, Central Euboea, and Reggio Calabria.
The heatmap should emphasize Nisyros, Crete, Kalymnos, Chios, Kos, Lasithi, Heraklion, Euboea, Reggio Calabria, and the Dodecanese.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Greek Crete East. Other nearby references include Greek Dodecanese Kalymnos, Greek Crete, Greek Crete Lasithi, and Greek North Aegean Chios.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Greek Crete East is the closest listed match to the Greek Dodecanese Nisyros average after removing Greek Dodecanese Nisyros itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Greek Dodecanese Nisyros G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
