Results through Eurogenes K13 - Distance from actual population(s)
My father comes from Thessaly (Greece) and my mother from Central Greece.
In Eurogenes K13 Single Population Sharing, Greek_Thessaly comes 1st, while Central_Greek comes 4th, behind Bulgarian and Romanian.
1 Greek_Thessaly 5.45
2 Bulgarian 7.08
3 Romanian 9.63
4 Central_Greek 10.44
I thought I compare my admixture with those for the average Greek from Thessaly and the average Central Greek (as per Eurogenes K13 "Spreadsheet") and it goes like this:

Hence, distinctly more "Baltic" than the average populations of these areas (~+6.5%), while, on the other hand, being clearly ~3% lower each in West Mediterranean and Red Sea heritage.
One could say I am:
- As Eastern Mediterranean as a Mozabite Berber from Algeria (26.10% vs 26.45%)
- As Baltic as a ... Southwest English (19.80% vs 22.10%)
- As North Atlantic as a Greek from Thessaly (makes sense) (19.50% vs 19.12%)
- As West Mediterranean as a ... Bulgarian (17.71% vs 17.91%)
- As West Asian as an East Sicilian (13.98% vs 13.83%)
and, more exotically...:
- As Oceanian as a member of the Velama caste in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana (1.31% vs 1.27%)
- As Red Sea as a ... Polish (1.27% vs 1.24%)
- As Sub-Saharan as a member of the Kol people in India (0.25%)
- As Amerindian as a Catalan (0.06%)
- As South Asian as the La Brana 1 caveman or a Sardinian (0)
- As East Asian as MA1 of the Mal'ta–Buret' culture or a Sardinian (0)
- As Siberian as a Spanish from Extremadura (0)
- As Northeast African as the La Brana 1 caveman or a Ukrainian from Lvil (0)
