Achlada (, before 1926: Κρουσοράτη – Krousorati; , Krushoradi, Macedonian: , Krušoradi) is a village in the Florina regional unit, Western Macedonia, Greece.
==History== The settlement was mentioned in an Ottoman tax register (defter) of 1626–1627, under the name of Krushorad, and was described as having sixty-one non-Muslim households. The Russian slavist Victor Grigorovich recorded Krushorade () as mainly Bulgarian village in 1845. The population of the village was under the supremacy of the Bulgarian Exarchate in the beginning of the 20th century. The survey "La Macédoine et sa Population Chrétienne" by Dimitar Mishev concluded that the Christian population in 1905 was composed of 760 Bulgarian Exarchists. The name was changed to the Greek Achlada after the Balkan Wars. The father of Nikola Gruevski (former Prime Minister of North Macedonia) was born in Achlada.
