Karyes, Florina

Karyes (Greek: Καρυές, before 1920: Όροβνικ – Orovnik)[2] is a village in the Florina Regional Unit in West Macedonia, Greece.

In the early 1900s, 150 Slavonic speaking Christians lived in the village.

[3] During the Greek Civil War, the Greek refugee population living in nearby Pyli fled to Karyes.

[4] By the 1950s, the Greek government assisted a group of nomadic transhumant Aromanians, known as the Arvanitovlachs, to settle in depopulated villages of the Prespa region like Karyes.

[5] In the early 1970s, the population of Aromanians and Greeks in the village was more numerous than the Macedonian speaking people.
