Albania, Vlorë, Bektashi Temple on the Hill of Kuzum Baba
Albania Bektashi are Muslim, but some of their practices resemble Christian ones. Four major religious groups in Albania are usually identified: Catholic and Orthodox Christians, Sunni Muslims, and Bektashis.
Depending on the sources you read, you will find very different stories about Bektashi origins and identity. The simplest explanation is that they follow a distinctive branch of Shi’a Islam, and they claim as their founder the 13th-century saint and mystic Haji Bektash Veli. His followers developed an Islamic Sufi order, with dervishes living in houses or lodges known as tekkes, each headed by a superior, a baba.
