Sazan is the largest island in Albania. It sits at the mouth of the Strait of Otranto, which is the narrow strip of water between Italy and Albania that controls all shipping and naval traffic between the Mediterranean Sea and the Adriatic Sea. Every ship and every submarine that moves between those two seas has to pass through that strait. The island has been classified as a military zone for roughly ninety years, occupied by the Italian Fascist regime in the 1930s, used by Nazi Germany during the Second World War, then fortified by Albania’s communist government with more than three thousand soldiers and bunkers built to survive a nuclear attack.
