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 Greek census (1920) recorded 122 people in the village and in 1923 there were 122 inhabitants (or 30 families) who were Muslim.[3] Following the Greek-Turkish population exchange, in 1926 within Tserkezkioi there were 27 refugee families from the Caucasus and 5 refugee families from an unidentified location.[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]
