  Sazan Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sazan or Sazanit (in Italian Saseno) is a small island, strategically located at the entrance to Bay of Vlora in Albania.
In 1864 it was ceded to Greece with the rest of the Ionian Islands.
Finding the island too unimportant to risk war with Italy, Greece evacuated the island which was in turn occupied by Italy on 30 October 1914, which posted a military commander there.
