Albania - Greek Diaspora History Articles
The Greek diaspora history in Albania spans almost 3,000 years, with the ancient Greek Kingdom of Epirus having close ties with the ancient Illyrian Kingdom – located in present day Albania. Today, the northern part of the historic region of Epirus, known as Northern Epirus, is located in Albania with many Greeks still living there. The Greek community is recognised as one of the ethnic groups in Albania, predominantly located in the cities of Sarandë, Gjirokastër, Delvinë, and Himara. Currently, approximately 300,000 people in Albania claim Greek ethnicity, with Greeks being the largest of the minority Albanian ethnic groups.
