Exochi (Greek: Εξοχή) is a village and a community in the Kozani municipality.[2] Before the 2011 local government reform, it was part of the municipality of Kozani, of which it was a municipal district.[2] The 2011 census recorded 114 inhabitants in the community.[1] The community of Exochi covers an area of 16.92 km2.[3]
History
Before the Greco-Turkish population exchange the village, called Bairakli, was inhabited exclusively by Turks.[4] After the population exchange the village was resettled by Greek refugees.[4] The original settlement was evacuated in 1980, as the Public Power Corporation of Greece expanded its lignite mines towards the village.[4] The contemporary settlement of Exochi is adjacent to the community of Koila.[4]
