Kallithea, Florina

Kallithea (Greek: Καλλιθέα, before 1928: Ρούδαρι – Roudari)[2] is a village in the Florina Regional Unit in West Macedonia, Greece.

In the early 1900s, 270 Slavonic speaking Christians lived in the village.

[3] After the Greek Civil War, only 10 Macedonian speaking families remained and the abandoned houses of those that fled were settled by Aromanians.

[3] They were from a group of nomadic transhumant Aromanians known as the Arvanitovlachs, and the Greek government assisted them to settle in depopulated villages of the Prespa region like Kallithea during the 1950s.

[6] In fieldwork done by anthropologist Riki Van Boeschoten in late 1993, Kallithea was populated by Aromanians and Slavophones.
