Konstantinato (Greek: Κωνσταντινάτο) is a small town of 332 inhabitants (2011), part of the municipal unit of Serres, northern Greece.[1] It is situated between the Belitsa and Strymon rivers. All inhabitants migrated from Konstantinatoi in Minor Asia during the exchange of populations in 1923 between Turkey and Greece. Konstantinatoi in Minor Asia was also known as Tsatal Agil (Turkish, meaning fork in the road).
