Finiq (Albanian: Finiq or Finiqi, Greek: Φοινίκη, Finiki) is a predominantly Greek-inhabited settlement, considered town or village,[1][2][3] and municipality in Vlorë County, in southern Albania located 8 km from the Ionian Sea and 20 km north of the Greek border. It was formed at the 2015 local government reform by the merger of the former municipalities Aliko, Dhivër, Finiq, Livadhja and Mesopotam, that became municipal units. The seat of the municipality is the village Dermish.[4] The total population is 11,862 (2011 census), in a total area of 441.20 km2.[5] The population of the former municipality at the 2011 census was 1,333.[6]

The 2015 Albanian civil registry recorded a much higher municipal population of 39,055 [citation needed]. The municipal unit of Finiq comprises the villages Finiq, Buronjë (Mavropull), Çlirim, Vrion, Karahaxhë and Bregas (Vromero).[7] Finiq and all the villages of the municipality are solely inhabited by ethnic Greeks, except the village of Çlirim, which is mixed.[8][9] In antiquity, Phoenice was the political center of the Epirot Greek tribe of the Chaonians. Some other writers have held that the area was at one point settled by peoples coming from the Levant-- with the name of Phoenike a reference to origins in Phoenicia, Jerikon a reference to Jericho, and Palasa's name referencing origins in Palaestina province.[10]
