Neos Kafkasos

Neos Kafkasos (Greek: Νέος Καύκασος) is a village in the Florina Regional Unit of Macedonia, Greece.

Following the Greek–Turkish population exchange, the Greek state organised the resettlement of Greek refugees and in the Florina area a new border village was built for them called Neos Kafkasos.

[3] The refugee families had come from the province of Kars Oblast (later ceded to Turkey) where under Russian rule (1878–1918) they arrived from Pontus and were resettled by the imperial government, serving as border guards on the Ottoman–Russian frontier.

[2] The 1928 Greek census recorded 604 village inhabitants in Neos Kafkasos.

[4] Pontic Greek was spoken by people over 60, mainly in private.
