Frashtan (Greek: Φράστανη) is a settlement in the former Dropull i Poshtëm municipality, Gjirokastër County, southern Albania.[1] At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality Dropull.[2] It is within the larger Dropull region. It is mostly populated by Greek minority.[3]

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

The village today[]

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