The most famous of them is the story about a
pirate called Liko Ceni. Lico Ceni was a well known leader of
pirates. Daily Lico along with his companions would attack a large
number of trade ships, and sometimes entire fleets. Once he even
sank a ship that was full of pilgrims on their way to Mecca. When the Turkish sultan
heard of this he ordered Lico to be found and imprisoned, and that the one who
finds or kills him will be richly rewarded. But, just at the same
time another very dangerous pirate called Lambos or Aralampije,
appeared. Lambos was of Greek origin, and so he knew the
sea and the territory very well. When the news regarding Lambos came
to the sultan, he gave an order to kill him. Time passed, but nobody
could capture nor kill Lambos, so the sultan asked Lika Ceni to go and kill
Lambos and in return he would forgive him everything he had
done. Liko was very excited about this request and said that he
would “capture or kill Lambos”. Quickly a duel arises between the
two pirates and Liko kills Lambo. The Turkish sultan spared Liko’s
life and gave him the title of captain. Many famous Ulcinj
residences from Liko’s family, where also famous captains.
