Sagiada (Greek: Σαγιάδα) is a village and a former municipality in Thesprotia, Epirus, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Filiates, of which it is a municipal unit.[2] The municipal unit has an area of 87.803 km2.[3] In 2011 its population was 594 for the village and 1,740 for the municipal unit. The seat of the municipality was in Asprokklisi. Sagiada stretches between the Ionian Sea to the west and Albania to the north. It is the westernmost point of mainland Greece. The river Thyamis flows into sea 4 km south of the village Sagiada. There are plains in the southern part of the municipal unit, and mountains on the Albanian border. The village Sagiada is 10 km west of Filiates, 15 km northwest of the capital of Thesprotia, Igoumenitsa, and 4 km south of the Albanian town of Konispol.
In the late medieval era, the fort of Sagiada and its lucrative salt mines belonged to the Albanian feudal Zenebishi family. They must have passed under Venetian control at some point and were returned to John Zenevisi in the peace they concluded in 1400.[4] Sagiada is recorded in the 1431 defter of the early Ottoman sanjak of Albania as one of the villages whose tax rights were given to timar holders.[5] In the Ottoman era, Sagiada (in Albanian, Sajadha) was a small port in the northern parts of the territories of the Cham Albanians.[6] In the 16th century, the region was harassed by the Venetians and the inhabitants of Venetian Corfu in violation of the Ottoman-Venetian treaty of 1540 who were offering lower prices to merchants in order for them to use the ports of Corfu instead of Sagiada.[7] After WWII and the expulsion of Cham Albanians, like many other settlements, it was partially repopulated by Greek- and Aromanian-speaking communities.[8]
