Kolchiki (Greek: Κολχική, before 1928: Πλησεβίτσα - Plisevitsa[2]) is a village in Florina regional unit, Western Macedonia, Greece.
According to the statistics of Vasil Kanchov ("Macedonia, Ethnography and Statistics"), 700 Muslim Albanians lived in the village in 1900.[3] The Greek census (1920) recorded 563 people in the village and in 1923 there were 563 inhabitants (or 103 families) who were Muslim.[4] Following the Greek-Turkish population exchange, in 1926 within Plisevitsa there were 92 refugee families from the Caucasus.[4] The Greek census (1928) recorded 352 village inhabitants.[4] There were 95 refugee families (367 people) in 1928.[4]
Kolchiki had 315 inhabitants in 1981.[5] In fieldwork done by Riki Van Boeschoten in late 1993, Kolchiki was populated by a Greek population descended from Anatolian Greek refugees who arrived during the population exchange.[5] Pontic Greek was spoken in the village by people over 30 in public and private settings.[5] Children understood the language, but mostly did not use it.[5]
