Metoq (Greek: Μετόχι Metochi) is a village in Vlorë County, southwestern Albania. It is located to the east of Sarandë, next to the village of Vrion.[1][2]

Ruins of two ancient Greek temples were found in the vicinity of the village.[3] In recent years (1999) a Greek-Orthodox church became a target of vandals and was burned down.[4]
