Kostar (Greek: Κωστάρι; romanized: Kostári) is a village in Vlorë County, southern Albania.[1] At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality of Delvinë.[2] Besides Albanians, it is inhabited by Greeks.[3]
Demographics
According to Ottoman statistics, the village had 86 inhabitants in 1895.[4] The village had 328 inhabitants in 1993, all ethnically Greeks.[3] The village today has a permanent population of less than 150 inhabitants, notably due to migration to Greece or other countries. Despite this, the population doubles in Easter, Summer and Christmas, as most people return to their village to celebrate or have holidays with their families.
