The Durbali Sultan Tekke is a Bektashi (Alevi) dervish lodge in the village of Ano Asprogeia (Irini) near Farsala in Thessaly, traditionally founded by a dervish from Konya named Durbali. It became one of the most significant Bektashi centers in the Balkans, containing imagery of Imam Ali and Hacı Bektaş Veli. After Thessaly's annexation to Greece (1881) it continued functioning, passing to Albanian Bektashis from 1925 until the last baba died in 1973; it is now a protected monument.
