The region was also inhabited by the Greek tribe of the Chaonians in classical antiquity. The Ancient Greeks developed the town of Sarandë, which they referred to as "Onchesmos" (or Anchiasmos). Onchesmos flourished as the port of the Chaonian capital of Phoenice (modern-day Finiq). Another Chaonian settlement was Chimera, identified with Himarë, while the Corinthians founded the colony of Aulon at the bay of Vlorë. Additional ancient settlements in the region included Thronium, Amantia and Oricum. Illyrian tribes were located north of the mouth of Aoos, which is located near the northern limits of the county.
