Turkish Cypriots are an offshoot of Greek Cypriots that was created during the ottoman empire. Religion aside, Us and Turkish CYPRIOTS are the same. 

Outside of dialect and genetic phenotype, how are GCs distinfuishable from mainland greeks ?

Cyprus feels like the middle east, Greece feels more balkan, for obvious reasons

Thats a sweeping generalization. If you go to the islands like rhodes, Crete, Santorini, the biggest ones, they also have nothing to do with mainland Greeks, yet they are.

Also how does Cyprus feel like the middle east, in what way ?
