Platania (Greek: Πλατανιά, before 1927: Μπομπούστιον – Bompoustion),[2] is a village and a community in the Voio municipality of Greece.[3] Before the 2011 local government reform it was part of the municipality of Neapoli, of which it was a municipal district.[3] The 2021 census recorded 88 inhabitants in the village.[1]

In the late Ottoman period, it was inhabited by Vallahades; in the 1900 statistics of Vasil Kanchov, where the town appears under its Bulgarian name "Bobusht'"/"Bobushta", it was inhabited by some 300 "Greek Muslims".[4]

Bompoustion was a mixed village and a part of its population were Greek speaking Muslim Vallahades.[5][6] The 1920 Greek census recorded 290 people in the village, and 280 inhabitants (50 families) were Muslim in 1923.[7] Following the Greek–Turkish population exchange, Greek refugee families in Bompoustion were from Pontus (73) in 1926.[7] The 1928 Greek census recorded 213 village inhabitants.[7] In 1928, the refugee families numbered 72 (236 people).[7]
