There's also a misunderstanding of what makes Cretans different from mainland Greeks...
E1b1b in Di Giaccomo's paper is :
Patra : 44.4% (8/18)
Ioannina : 29.2% (7/24)
Heraklion : 26.2 (11/42) Crete
Chania : 24.1% (7/29) Crete
Karditsa : 24.0% (6/25)
Serres : 24.0% (6/25)
Chios : 23.8% (10/42)
Thessalonike : 20.0% (4/20)
Mytilene : 18.5% (5/27)
Larissa : 14.3% (3/21)
Agrinio : 9.5% (2/21)

Agrinio : 9.5% (2/21)
Rethymno : 9.1 (2/22) Crete
Lasithi : 4.0% (2/50) Crete
so Cretans with a 15.4% E1b1b in Di Giaccomo's paper look quite closer to mainland Greeks than the paper of King et.al (2007-08) suggested, primarly becauce of the large percentage of E1b1b in Argolis and Sesclo(where they tested villagers who are unlikely to represent the mainstream Greek population) in contrast to the low percentage of E1b1b observed from the 193 samples of Cretans.
Cretans are on the one extreme of Greek variation with 35% J2 / 11% E1b1b while
Peloponnesians are on the other extreme with 16% J2 / 37% E1b1b.
All the other Greeks fall within this two extremes, so Cretans are not more differentiated from other Greeks than Peloponnesians are. Why are always Cretans associated with the old and possible outdated conclusions of King et.al is something I can't understand...
