Platania (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Πλατανιά) is a village and a community in the Voio municipality of Greece.[1] In the late Ottoman period, it was inhabited by Vallahades; in the 1900 statistics of Vasil Kanchov, where the town appears under its Bulgarian name "Bobusht'"/"Bobushta", it was inhabited by some 300 "Greek Muslims".[2] Before the 2011 local government reform it was part of the municipality of Neapoli, of which it was a municipal district.[1] The 2021 census recorded 88 inhabitants in the village.
