Ano Kleines (Template:Lang-el, before 1926: Άνω Κλέστινα - Ano Klestina[2]) is a village in Florina Regional Unit, Macedonia, Greece.
Muslims of Ano Klestina were Albanian speakers.[3] The Greek census (1920) recorded 911 people in the village and in 1923 there were 896 inhabitants (or 147 families) who were Muslim.[4] Following the Greek-Turkish population exchange, in 1926 within Ano Klestina there were refugee families from East Thrace (72), Asia Minor (13), Pontus (4) and one other from an unidentified location.[4] The Greek census (1928) recorded 584 village inhabitants.[4] In 1928, there were 85 refugee families (381 people).[4] A Muslim school existed in the village until 1924, later destroyed.[5]
Ano Kleines had 236 inhabitants in 1981.[6] In fieldwork done by Riki Van Boeschoten in late 1993, Ano Kleines was populated by a Greek population descended from Anatolian Greek refugees who arrived during the Greek-Turkish population exchange, and Slavophones.[6] The Macedonian language was spoken by people over 60, mainly in private.[6]
