==History== Souroti is an immigrant's village, one of the many that were established in Greek Macedonia after the Balkan Wars and the population exchange between Greece and Turkey. Shortly before 1912 the area was called "Surukli" (from the Turkish suru which means herd) and was owned by five Turkish land owners (Τσιφλικάδες) who sold their land to Jews from Thessaloniki.
