Sarandë
Saranda or Sarandë ((ギリシア語:Άγιοι Σαράντα), ''Agioi Saranda'') is a town and municipality in Vlorë County, southern Albania. It is one of the most important tourist attractions of the Albanian Riviera. It is situated on an open sea gulf of the Ionian Sea in the central Mediterranean, about east of the north end of the Greek island of Corfu. The present municipality was formed at the 2015 local government reform by the merger of the former municipalities Ksamil and Sarandë, that became municipal units. The seat of the municipality is the town Sarandë.〔(Law nr. 115/2014 )〕 The total population is 20,227 (2011 census), in a total area of 58.96 km2.〔(Interactive map administrative territorial reform )〕 The population of the former municipality at the 2011 census was 17,233,〔(2011 census results )〕 however the population according to the civil offices is 41,173 (2013 estimate).〔http://www.observator.org.al/odf2/komunat_vlore-en.html〕 Near Sarandë are the remains of the ancient city of Butrint, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Sarandë has a Greek minority and is considered one of the two centers of the Greek community in Albania.〔(Pettifer, James. ''The Greek Minority in Albania - In the Aftermath of Communism.'' Conflict Studies Research Center, July 2001, ISBN 1-903584-35-3 ) - p. 12, "The concentration of ethnic Greeks in and around centres of Hellenism such as Saranda and Gjirokastra could guarantee their election there, but nowhere else in the country is success for an Omonia-based candidate possible."〕
==Etymology==
''Saranda'' is from the name of the Byzantine monastery of the ''Agioi Saranda'' ((ギリシア語:Άγιοι Σαράντα)), meaning the "Forty Saints" and honoring the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste. Under Turkish rule, this became ''Aya Sarandi'' and then ''Sarandoz''. Owing to Venetian influence in the region, it often appeared under its Italian name ''Santi Quaranta'' on Western maps.〔E.g., Walker, J. & C. "(Turkey II: Containing the Northern Part of Greece )." Published November 1st, 1829 by Baldwin & Cradock, 47 Paternoster Row, London. (London: Chapman & Hall, 1844). Accessed 24 Aug 2011.〕 This usage continued even after the establishment of the Principality of Albania, owing to the first Italian occupation of the region. During the second occupation in World War II, Benito Mussolini changed the name to ''Porto Edda'', in honor of his eldest daughter. Following the restoration of Albanian independence, the city employed its Albanian name ''Saranda''.〔E.g., Wojskowe Zaklady Kartograficzne. ''Pergamon World Atlas''. "(Albania, Greece )."
