A focused population profile of Greeks from Argolis, their eastern Peloponnesian background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Greeks from Argolis come from the eastern Peloponnese, including Argos, Nafplio, Epidaurus, and surrounding coastal and inland areas. Argolis has ancient Mycenaean and classical Greek history, Byzantine and Frankish layers, Venetian and Ottoman periods, and a central role in modern Greek state formation.
