Agiasma (Greek: Αγίασμα, before 1927: Λατόριστα – Latorista),[2] is a village and a community of the Voio municipality.[3] Before the 2011 local government reform it was part of the municipality of Tsotyli, of which it was a municipal district.[3] The 2021 census recorded 35 inhabitants in the community of Agiasma.[1] According to the statistics of Vasil Kanchov ("Macedonia, Ethnography and Statistics"), 55 Greek Christians and 55 Vallahades (Grecophone Muslims) lived in the village in 1900.[4]
Pre–war and post–war immigration from Agiasma led to the formation of a diaspora and most of the village population lives abroad in the northern suburbs of Melbourne in Australia.[5]
