Mesopotamo (Greek: Μεσοπόταμο, before 1927: Γιάγκοβα – Giagkova),[1] was a village in Kozani Regional Unit, Macedonia, Greece. It was part of the community of Mikrokastro.
Giagkova was populated by Greek speaking Muslim Vallahades.[2][3] The 1920 Greek census recorded 143 people in the village, and 150 inhabitants (35 families) were Muslim in 1923.[4] Following the Greek–Turkish population exchange, Greek refugee families in Giagkova were from Pontus (36) in 1926.[4] The 1928 Greek census recorded 124 village inhabitants.[4] In 1928, the refugee families numbered 35 (126 people).[4] The village was abolished on 16 October 1940.[5]
