The old Florina-Monastirion railway line passes next to the village and, to its west, the Sakouleva River, from which the old (until 1928)[2] name of Marina comes: Sakoulevo(n), idiomatically referred to as Sakkoulovon by Chalkiopoulos[3]. The current name comes from the parish church of Agia Marina.

It is an old settlement, as it is mentioned in an Ottoman register of the 15th century, as a timario of Seraskeris of the Vilayet of Florina with 86 families. In 1912 it was a mixed village of the kaza of Florina, with approximately 230 Christians and 70 Muslims (23%). By 1924, all Muslim residents were forcibly evacuated to Turkey through population exchange. At the end of the Civil War, almost 100 residents of the village (20 families) fled as political refugees to the then Yugoslavia.
