Suli is located in Epirus, the north-western
region of Greece. In the 18th century it acted as a "state
within the state" and was permanently at war with the
occupation forces of the Osman Empire. For many Greeks and
Albanians Suli belongs to the historical origins of their
national state. For other Europeans this is an unknown location
today. This page tries to recall it into European memory.
You will find a brief history of Suli, as well
as a photographic documentation of the present view of Suli`s
villages and fortresses. The area was not always unknown to
European travellers. The English landscape painter Edward
Lear visited Suli in 1849 when the Suliots were still present
in the historical conciousness of Europe. You also will get
help for finding your own way travelling to Suli.
