Limnochori (Greek: Λιμνοχώρι, before 1926: Τσερκέζκιοϊ – Tserkezkioi, alternative old name: Άγιοι Θεόδωροι – Agioi Theodoroi)[2] is a village in Florina Regional Unit, Macedonia, Greece.
The 1920 Greek census recorded 122 people in the village, and 122 inhabitants (30 families) were Muslim in 1923.[3] Following the Greek–Turkish population exchange, Greek refugee families in Tserkezkioi were from the Caucasus (27) and five others from an unidentified location in 1926.[3] In 1928 there were 37 refugee families (126 people).[3] After the population exchange, the village mosque was demolished and replaced with a community store.[4]
