Frashtan

Frashtan (Greek: Φράστανη) is a settlement in the former Dropull i Poshtëm municipality, Gjirokastër County, southern Albania.

The settlement lies at the foot of Mali i Gjerë (Greek: Πλατυβουνίου, romanized: Platyvouniou) and is bordered to the south by Lugar and to the north by Goricë.

In the Ottoman register of 1520 for the Sanjak of Avlona, the village was attested as a timar under the authority of Ali, the son of Mehmed.

The village had a total of 95 households and the anthroponymy attested almost entirely belonged to the Albanian onomastic sphere, characterised by personal names such as Bardh, Deda, Gjin, Gjon, Kola, Leka and others.

[4] Many of the inhabitants of the settlement migrated to nearby Greece following the downfall of Enver Hoxha's regime.
