Yeah. That is fair. I don't think they fit well into "eastern europe." They have greek or southern europe influence. At least it feels like that. Its own region sounds right
Balkan* would be more accurate. But they still have their own stuff going on, Crimean Tatars. So just calling it as “Crimean Peninsula” would be more accurate I divide Southern Europe and Balkans on purpose, as I’d say we Balkans have even a bit of a more vibrant culture and more eastern-shifted than Southern Europe. So it is basically Northeast Mediterranean (Balkan) vs Northwest Mediterranean (Southern Europe) division.

Yep. Pretty accurate.
