Municipal unit
The municipal unit of Malakasi includes the settlements of Korydallos, Malakasi, Panagia, Pefki and Trygona.
Geography
The village is part of the wider Zagori region,[4] between Epirus and Thessaly.
History
The village takes its name from the Malakasii, an Albanian tribe or clan that moved to the area from central Albania in the 14th century.[5][6][7][8] The name most probably refers to the Albanian Malakasii tribe's region of origin in the plain of Mallakastër in southern Albania.[9]
Ottoman period
During the Ottoman period, Epirus and Aetolia-Acarnania were divided into five armatolikia: Malakasi, Tzoumerka, Xeromero, Lidorikion, and Venetiko.[10][11]
In May 1871, Malakasi was the seat of the Malakasi nahiye of the Ioannina kaza.[12]
Demographics
The village is inhabited by "Vlachs" (Βλαχι),[13] who are called Malakasi and inhabit the villages from Malakasi to Gardiki.[14]
