Dad's pure Spartan.
During the rule of the Turks (ottoman empire) from 1421-1821, most of Greece was assimilated (hence near identical cuisine), but the areas near Sparta was so uninhabitable and sparcely inhabited anyway, the Turks never bothered with it.
This is why they say that only the Spartans are the only remaining "true" Greeks, as the rest of Greece has "Turkish" blood in it.
My surname literally means "victory over the Turks".
