A focused population profile of Greeks from southern Euboea, their central Greek and Aegean background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Greeks from southern Euboea come from the southern part of the island of Euboea, close to Attica, Boeotia, the Cyclades, and the central Aegean. Southern Euboea has a history shaped by ancient Greek settlements, Venetian and Ottoman periods, maritime routes, Arvanite-speaking communities in some areas, and modern links to Athens and central Greece.
Greek is the main language. Southern Euboea should be read as a central Greek/Aegean profile with strong links to Attica, Phocis, Laconia, Corfu, Aetolia-Acarnania, and other Euboean references.
As a genetic reference, Greek Euboea South is useful for comparison with Phocis, Laconia, Attica, Corfu, Aetolia-Acarnania, Euboea Chalcis South, Arcadia, Epirus, and other central/southern Greek references.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, Greek Euboea South is closest to Greek Central Greece Phocis, Greek Peloponnese Laconia, Greek Attica, Greek Heptanese Corfu, Greek Western Greece Aetolia-Acarnania, Greek Euboea Chalcis South, Greek Euboea Psachna, Greek Central Greece Boeotia, Greek Peloponnese Arcadia North Kynouria, and Greek Epirus. The result places southern Euboea among central Greek, Attic, Peloponnesian, Ionian, and Epirote references.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Southern Euboea is best interpreted as a central Greek and Aegean profile, close to Phocis, Laconia, Attica, Corfu, Aetolia-Acarnania, and other Euboean references.
The heatmap should emphasize southern Euboea, Phocis, Attica, Laconia, Corfu, Aetolia-Acarnania, Boeotia, Arcadia, and Epirus.
Yes. Phocis, Attica, Aetolia-Acarnania, Boeotia, and Epirus all appear among the closest matches.
Greek Peloponnese Laconia and Arcadia North Kynouria appear close to Greek Euboea South.
It is best read as a central Greek and Aegean-adjacent profile, with mainland and island contexts both visible.
