Sevasti (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Σεβαστή) is a village and a community of the Katerini municipality.[1] Before the 2011 local government reform it was part of the municipality of Korinos, of which it was a municipal district.[1] The 2021 census recorded 287 residents in the village.
The village was settled by Pontic Greek refugees from Turkey in 1924.[2]
Unlike other settlements in Greece, Sevasti has, besides Greek Orthodox, two Protestant communities and there is also a temple of the Greek Evangelical Church, that was established in 1924. There is also a community that follows the Greek Apostolic Church of Pentecost.[2]
