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 2021 census recorded 122 inhabitants in the community. [1] The community of Exochi covers an area of 16.92 km2. [3]
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]
