Margariti (Template:Lang-el, Template:Lang-sq) is a municipality in Thesprotia, Greece. Population 3,032 (2001).

History
In February 1913 the town liberated from the Greek army thus ending Ottoman's occupation. Until the Second World War the town had a mixed population of Greeks and Cham Albanians. At the end of the war, the Albanian population of the region was expelled to Albania. EDES accused Chams for collaborating with the German Nazis and Italians during the war. Several hundred Chams had collaborated, but more than a thousand Chams were part of Resistance forces of the Greek People's Liberation Army (ELAS) and the Albanian Anti-Fascist Liberation Army. The rest, which formed the majority, were civilians uninvolved in the war. As a result of this, more than 2,000 Chams were killed or died while going into Albania.
