Levaia (Greek: Λεβαία, before 1926: Έλλεβη - Ellevi,[2] between 1926 and 1988: Λακκιά - Lakkia[3]) is a village in the region of Florina, northern Greece.[4] It belonged to the municipality of Filotas but after the application of the Kallikratis Plan in 2011 it got incorporated in the municipality of Amyntaio.[3] According to the 2021 Greek census, the village had 660 inhabitants.

## Demographics[edit]

In statistics gathered by Vasil Kanchov in 1900, Elevi was populated by 700 Muslim Turks.[5]

The Greek census (1920) recorded 986 people in the village and in 1923 there were 950 inhabitants (or 160 families) who were Muslim.[6] Following the Greek-Turkish population exchange, in 1926 within Elevi there were refugee families from East Thrace (81), Asia Minor (102) and Pontus (52).[6] The Greek census (1928) recorded 1002 village inhabitants.[6] There were 232 refugee families (973 people) in 1928.[6]
