Vlahi is a village in Kresna Municipality, in Blagoevgrad Province, Bulgaria.
In 19th and the beginning of 20th century the village of Vlahi had a population of about 2,500 people, being bigger than Sveti Vrach (present-day Sandanski). During the time of the Ottoman rule, it was repeatedly burnt down in the uprisings, including the Kresna-Razlog Uprising, and then rebuilt. National hero Yane Sandanski was born in Shemeto – a neighbourhood of Vlahi which no longer exists. In 1901, when his division along with Hristo Chernopeev’s division took hostage of American missionary Ellen Stone and Katerina Tsilka, to get a ransom in exchange for their liberation, the two women were kept for half a year in a house in Kosovska mahala – a neighbourhood situated really close to Vlahi’s central square.
