Община Сули в Ном Теспротия

Сулиоти (на гръцки: Σουλιώτες) са жителите на областта Сули в Епир, които по произход са православни албанци, но са с изразено гръцко съзнание.[1]

Източници от края на XVIII век описват сулиотите като албанци-християни.[2] Епирците-сулиоти слагат началото на гръцкото национал-освободително движение срещу Османската империя в началото на XIX век. Сулиотската носия (т.нар. фустанела) е утвърдена за национална гръцка носия.

The Burlington Magazine. p. 487. „The Albanians were a mountain population from the region of Epirus, in the north-west part of the Ottoman Empire. They were predominantly Muslim. The Suliots were a Christian Albanian tribe, which in the eighteenth century settled in a mountainous area close to the town of Jannina. They struggled to remain independent and fiercely resisted Ali Pasha, the tyrannic ruler of Epirus. They were defeated in 1822 and, banished from their homeland, took refuge in the Ionian Islands. It was there that Lord Byron recruited a number of them to form his private guard, prior to his arrival in Missolonghi in 1824. Arnauts was the name given by the Turks to the Albanians“.
