difficulties forming BYZ/GRE from Aragon 1.22

[CecilX]

I managed to convert Aragon to orthodox. But Im having problems when it comes to setting my culture to greek. I need my provinces to be >50% greek but to meet that requirement I have to get rid of my iberian provinces and that cripples my empire from the anatolia region to the west.

Is there a better way to shift to greek culture without losing their genuine aragonese lands?

You don't need to "get rid" of land, you just need to de-state it. Though it can obviously be costly in admin to state it back.

You can also culture convert your provinces. Southern Italy can be converted directly and then you chain-convert through the Mediterranean (Southern Italy -> Sardinia -> Baleares -> Aragon).
