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 Greek Muslims and 50 Romani lived in the village in 1900.[5]

Kriftsi was populated by Greek speaking Muslim Vallahades.[6][7][8] The 1920 Greek census recorded 897 people in the village, and 897 inhabitants (187 families) were Muslim in 1923.[9] Following the Greek–Turkish population exchange, Greek refugee families in Kriftsi were from Asia Minor (150) and Pontus (191) in 1926.[9] The 1928 Greek census recorded 1,885 village inhabitants.[9] In 1928, the refugee families numbered 334 (1,303 people).[9] 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.[7]
