Lofos (Greek: Λόφος, Greek pronunciation: ['lofos]) is a village and a community of the Elassona municipality. Before the 2011 local government reform it was a part of the municipality of Olympos. The community of Lofos covers an area of 23.674 km.

History

The settlement was recorded as a village with the name Bazarlıfakih, in the Ottoman tahrir defter (number 101) of 1521. The village was known as Pazarládes (Παζαρλάδες) until 1957, when it was renamed to Lófos. Until the exchange of populations in 1924 and the arrival of the refugees from Pontus, mainly from Erbaa and Niksar, the village was inhabited by local Muslims.
