Aliko (definite Albanian form: Alikoi; Greek: Αλύκο) is a village and a former commune in Vlorë County, southern Albania. At the 2015 local government reform it became a subdivision of the municipality Finiq.[2]

Besides the village Aliko from which it takes its name and which functions as well as an administrative center, the administrative unit consists of 9 other villages: Çaush; ; ; Jermë; ; Pllakë; ; ; and Vurgu i Ri, which are inhabited solely by Greeks.[2][3]

Population[]

The population according to the 2011 census was 3,849,[4] however according to the civil offices it was estimated at 8,818,[5] The latest official census in Albania (2011), has been widely disputed due to irregularities in the procedure,[6][7][8] and its results affected by boycott by part of the Greek minority.[9]
