Nótia (Greek: Νότια, formerly Νώτια; Megleno Romanian: Nânti or Nânta) is a village in the Exaplatanos municipal unit of the Pella regional unit, Central Macedonia, Greece. Lying at an altitude of 595 metres in the Upper Karadjova Plain, it was for centuries the largest Megleno-Romanians village, and the only one with a regular market.[citation needed]
Much of Notia's Meglen Vlach population converted to Islam in the 18th century. With the 1923 population exchange between Greece and Turkey, the Muslims of the village were deported to Eastern Thrace in Turkey. They were known as "Karadjovalis" (Turkish: Karacaovalılar) after the Turkish name of their home region.[2]
