Well I'm 25% Greek basically and I have brown hair with some red tints in it which is because where my family is from in Greece it is normal to have the red tints with dark hair, I'm guessing because of the Celtic influence way back in ancient times. I also have an olive looking skin tone but it's light since I'm also Ukrainian and German, and almond shaped eyes (Persian influence in ancient Greece). If a Greek person was of 100% background for the most part they would have dark colored hair and eyes with a darker skin tone. However like I said with my family, there are some areas in Greece where red hair and sometimes even blonde come into play with a lighter skin tone. Greeks are known for having strong features as well in the face like chins, almond eyes, and sometimes unfortunately big noses. But really it all goes back to ancient times with interracial coupling and mixing of genes that make up the Greek culture. Hope this helps!

Light skinned, usually curly hair,some times black hair and dark eyes, some times blond hair, blue or green eyes.
Some have the classic profile you see in a museum , some are not distinguishable except by last name from any other human family.
If you were a Star Trek fan, Do you remember Councilor Dianna Troy, She is a classic GREEK Beauty!
The Movie, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, She is a Classic Greek Beauty.
But, all do not look like those women. Google a picture of Alexander the Great, He is a different looking Greek entirely and yet just as striking in looks
They are like any human family, they have their own personal beauty, special to them, yet, ALL still just mortal Human children!

As a Greek living in Greece i can tell you that Greek people come in all colors...The majority have dark/brown hair,brown eyes and white\olive skin.Green eyes are also usual,blue eyes are rare...

Greek people have a diverse background (like every Mediterranean country) and so the outlooks vary greatly...You can see Greeks that look like Norwegians and you can see Greeks that look like Egyptians!!There are two main characteristics that define the Greek nation...The Greek Orthodox religion and the Greek language and culture...I belive that being a Greek is more a cultural definition than a racial one...

So don't try to categorise Greeks as "White", "Mestizo" etc.There are white looking Greeks,there are Arabic looking Greeks etc.
