Palasë is recorded in the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] ''[[defter]]'' of 1583 as a settlement in the [[Sanjak of Delvina]] with a total of 95 households. The anthroponymy recorded predominantly belonged to the [[Albanians|Albanian]] onomastic sphere (e.g., ''Gjin Gjoni'', ''Leka Kosta'', ''Nika Pali''), however, personal names reflecting broader [[Eastern Orthodoxy|Orthodox Christian]] anthroponymy - both Greek (e.g., ''Andrea Komnini'', ''Jorgo Kristulli'') and Slavic (e.g., ''Vaso Petko'', ''Dhimo Bojko'') - are also recorded.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Frashëri |first1=Kristo |title=Himara dhe Përkatësia Etnike e Himarjotëve |date=2005 |publisher=Toena |pages=40–1}}</ref>

==Geography== The village is located several kilometres northwest of the town of [[Dhërmi]], and is accessed via the main road leading out of the town. The [[Llogara Pass]] and [[Çika]] Mountain are nearby. The Thunderbolt Mountains, the western chain of the [[Ceraunian Mountains]], enclose the area on its northern and northeastern side. The area opens up on its southwestern side with the mountain of [[Çika]] and descends towards the [[Ionian Sea|Ionian]] coast, with the [[Greek Islands]] of Othonas and [[Corfu]] in the distance. [[File:ALB 20070718 img 1368.jpg|thumb|left|Coastline. The village can be seen to the left of the picture.
