According to the statistics of Vasil Kanchov, 700 Muslim Albanians lived in the village in 1900.[3]
The 1920 Greek census recorded 563 people in the village, and 563 inhabitants (103 families) were Muslim in 1923.[4] Following the Greek–Turkish population exchange, Greek refugee families in Plisevitsa were from the Caucasus (92) in 1926.[4] The 1928 Greek census recorded 352 village inhabitants.[4] In 1928, the refugee families numbered 95 (367 people).[4]
Kolchiki had 315 inhabitants in 1981.[5] In fieldwork done by anthropologist Riki Van Boeschoten in late 1993, Kolchiki was populated by a Greek population descended from Asia Minor Greek refugees who arrived during the population exchange.[5] Pontic Greek was spoken in the village by people over 30 in public and private settings.[5] Children understood the language, but mostly did not use it.[5]
