TheIoannina Eyalet (Ottoman Turkish:ایالت یانیهEyālet-i Yānyâ)[1] was anadministrative territorial entity of theOttoman Empire located in the territory of present-day southernAlbania, central and northernGreece. It was formed in 1670[citation needed] and its administrative centre wasIoannina. During the period 1788–1822,Ali Pasha (sanjakbey ofTrikala) seized control overIoannina and after enlisting most of the local brigands under his own banner took advantage of a weak Ottoman government to gain control over the Ioannina Eyalet and most of Albania and continental Greece, transforming it into the semi-autonomousPashalik of Yanina. After he was killed in 1822 the Ottoman Empire reestablished the Ioannina Eyalet which existed until establishment of theJanina Vilayet in 1867.
