The village was founded in the 13th century by Bulgarian Bolyars. Thanks to trade, it gradually developed, more and more houses were built. The village got its name in the 15th century, when the Turkish authorities evicted the Albanians from Southern Epirus because of their frequent rebellions. In the Middle Ages the word "Arbanasi" referred to the Albanians.
