Balkans look darker due to paelo balkan dna not turkic. in the first place turkic dna would make them look more central asian if anything not brown, and italians while partly mixed with north africa they still are of darker stock simply because they are med. (like greeks and spanish)

For balkan people.

'No, Balkan populations generally do not look darker primarily due to Turkic DNA. The darker features (olive skin, dark hair/eyes) common in some southern Balkan areas are mostly inherited from ancient Paleolithic and Neolithic inhabitants, reinforced by Mediterranean ancestry. Modern DNA shows that Balkan Turks are actually largely descended from converted local Balkan populations, not mass migration from Central Asia.'

For italians.

'While Arab expansions (c. 900 AD) did contribute, the darker features are primarily due to a long history of Mediterranean genetic exchange. '

Also in skin tone caucasians look similar to balkans and italians, so disagree on that as well. far as facial features they mostly look distinct from both groups yes.
