Niki (Greek: Νίκη, before 1954: Βύτσιστα - Vytsista[2]) is a village in Kastoria Regional Unit, Macedonia, Greece.
Vytsista was populated by Muslim Albanians of the Bektashi Order.[3] The Greek census (1920) recorded 318 people in the village and in 1923 there were 250 inhabitants (or 35 families) who were Muslim.[4] Following the Greek-Turkish population exchange, in 1926 within Vytsista there was 1 refugee family from Asia Minor and 39 refugee families from Pontus.[4] The Greek census (1928) recorded 123 inhabitants.[4] There were 38 refugee families (131 people) in 1928.[4] After the population exchange, the Pontian refugees converted the small tekke in the village into a church.[3]
