Avgi (Greek: Αυγή, before 1928: Μπρέστενη - Bresteni,[2] renamed until 1929: Κρύα Νερά - Krya Nera[3]) is a village in Kastoria Regional Unit, Macedonia, Greece.

The Greek census (1920) recorded 312 people in the village and in 1923 there were 200 inhabitants (or 40 families) who were Muslim.[4] Following the Greek-Turkish population exchange, in 1926 within Bresteni there were refugee families from East Thrace (2), Asia Minor (8), Pontus (5), the Caucasus (22) and one other from an unidentified location.[4] The Greek census (1928) recorded 265 village inhabitants.[4] There were 39 refugee families (143 people) in 1928.[4] After the population exchange, the Pontian refugees who settled in the village demolished its mosque.[5]

In 1945, Greek Foreign Minister Ioannis Politis ordered the compilation of demographic data regarding the Prefecture of Kastoria.[6] The village Avgi had a total of 416 inhabitants, and was populated by 208 Slavophones with 80 percent having a Bulgarian national consciousness.[7]
