Description

At this wide bay of the Adriatic Sea there was already a Mycenaean settlement 3.000 years B.C., tools from the Bronze Age have been found here and in ancient times there was a harbour town under the name of Chaonia, in 551 A.D. the place was invaded by Ostrogoths.
In the early 19th century during the reign of Ali Pasha there was a small settlement next to the harbour. After the Ottoman administrative reform of 1867 Sarandë was founded and in the late Ottoman period until the Balkan wars (1912-1913) it consisted only of a port. This is a brief outline of the eventful history of the town and the surrounding area.
