ALMOPIA

'Almopía' or 'Nótia' (see below) is a village in the Pella Prefecture, Central Macedonia, Greece, at an altitude of 595 m, in the Upper Karadjova Plain. For centuries, it was the largest Meglen Vlach village, and the only one with a regular market.
Until 1927, it was known as Nótia (Greek Nότια or Νώτια; Megleno-Romanian ''Nânti'' or ''Nânta'; Bulgarian ''N'nti''; Turkish ''Nutya'' or ''Yediköy'').
The population of Notia was Meglen Vlach; its population converted to Islam in the 18th century. With the 1923 population exchange between Greece and Turkey, they were deported to Turkish Eastern Thrace. They were known as ''Karadjovalides'' after the name of the vicinity.
