Kivotos (Greek: Κιβωτός, before 1927: Κρίφτσι – Kriftsi),[2] is a village and a community of the Grevena municipality. Before the 2011 local government reform it was a part of the municipality of Irakleotes, of which it was a municipal district.[3] The 2021 census recorded 331 residents in the village.[1] The community of Kivotos covers an area of 25.281 km2.[4] According to the statistics of Vasil Kanchov ("Macedonia, Ethnography and Statistics"), 160 Greek Christians, 500 Vallahades (Grecophone Muslims) and 50 Romani lived in the village in 1900.[5]
The village was populated by Vallahades.[6] The 1920 Greek census recorded 897 people in the village, and 897 inhabitants (187 families) were Muslim in 1923.[7] Following the Greek–Turkish population exchange, Greek refugee families in Kriftsi were from Asia Minor (150) and Pontus (191) in 1926.[7] The 1928 Greek census recorded 1,885 village inhabitants.[7] In 1928, the refugee families numbered 334 (1,303 people).[7] After their arrival, the refugees demolished the village mosque and constructed a small church at the site, later replaced with the present church of Agios Georgios.[6]
