Koryfi (Greek: Κορυφή, before 1927: Τούρια – Touria)[2][3] is an abandoned village in Florina Regional Unit, Macedonia, Greece.[4] It was part of the community of Simos Ioannidis.
History
[edit]The inhabitants of Touria were Christian and belonged to the Bulgarian Exarchate.[4] Between 1912 and 1928, the village population numbered 480.[4]
For reasons of development and security, Koryfi was one of several Slavophone villages whose population was forcibly relocated by the Greek government and resettled in the plains during the late 1960s.[5]
