Polypotamo (Greek: Πολυπόταμο, before 1927: Νερέτη – Nereti)[2] is a village in Florina Regional Unit, Macedonia, Greece.
[3] Pre–war and post–war immigration from Polypotamo led to the formation of a diaspora and most of the village population lives abroad in the northern suburbs of Melbourne in Australia.[4]
Anthropologist Loring Danforth (1997) wrote 1,500 people from the village resided in Melbourne, Australia with most identifying as Macedonian.[5] People who live in the village itself all identify as Greek.[5]
