The intention of this paper is to shed some light on the mode of organization of the
Albanian immigration in Greece. Firstly we intend to maintain a hypothesis of a noncommunitarian
organization of this particular migration. For this purpose we explore the
Albanians’ social networks. Then, we make a second assumption: their diffusion. in the urban
space as well as the absence of any ethnic infrastructure suggest a spatial invisibility of the
Albanians in the Greek city. Exploring the example of Thessaloniki, the second largest Greek
city after Athens, we will maintain that Albanians’ non-communitarian social insertion is
reflected in the urban space: despite their large numbers in Thessaloniki, there is no evidence
of any ethnicized district.
