It says 100% Southern Europe ( Greece and the Balkans ). This region includes Albania, Greece, Kosovo & Macedonia. And Italy was added as a "Migration" region, claiming that my similarities with that region are because of a group of people "similar to me" who immigrated there some hundred years...

Now i'm totally Southern European ( Greece and The Balkans which includes only Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia and Greece). Italy is added as a Migration region which actually makes more sense to me since the Balkan people who escaped during the Ottoman period contributed in the Southern Italian...

Ok, so much conversation going on. I just got to know that Ancestry made updates for better results, and my results seem different ( not so much, but still ).

Oh, forgive me, I thought it was: ARE GREEKS AND ALBANIANS SIMILAR?

Thanks for the info! I have done the DNAland ( 95% Southern Europe, 5% Western Europe ) and Gedmatch as well, and you're so accurate; Tuscan, Greek and Albanian are the ones always showing up!
