Revani was populated by Albanian speaking Muslim inhabitants and they used to intermarry with the nearby Muslim villages of Menkulas, Vidohovë and Miras (now in Albania).[4][3] The 1920 Greek census recorded 721 people in the village, and 673 inhabitants (85 families) were Muslim in 1923.[5] Following the Greek–Turkish population exchange, the Muslim population of Revani went to Turkey in 1924 and Anatolian Orthodox Christians settled in the village.[3] Greek refugee families in Revani were from Pontus (130) in 1926.[5] The 1928 Greek census recorded 468 inhabitants.[5] In 1928, the refugee families numbered 128 (493 people).[5] After the population exchange, the site where the village mosque stood was replaced by the present church, the Assumption of the Virgin, built in 1925.[6]
