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.
