== History == Nea Efkarpia was established after Greco-Turkish War by Greek refugees from Asia Minor and Pontus who settled there after the population exchange. It was named after Efkarpia in what is now the Uşak District of Turkey. A considerable number of Aromanians also moved there from the villages of Megala Livadia and Kokkinopilos.
