I had heard that Giorgio Castriota Skanderbeg was someway related to Calabria Greeks. In fact, at that time, Calabria was still a mainly Greek speaking land. After his death, many followers of his fled to Calabria, Puglia, Lucania and Sicilia, where now still form a sizeable community (Arbërishtë) of 100.000 people with two Orthodox Diocesis.

We have them in Croatia too, "Arbanasi", which are Catholic.
