Kastro (Greek: Κάστρο) is a village of the Grevena municipality. Before the 1997 local government reform it was a part of the community of Elatos.[2] The 2021 census recorded 11 residents in the village.[1]

Kastro was populated by Greek speaking Muslim Vallahades.[3][4] The 1920 Greek census recorded 246 people in the village, and 246 inhabitants (15 families) were Muslim in 1923.[5] Following the Greek–Turkish population exchange, Greek refugee families in Kastro were from Pontus (20) in 1926.[5] The 1928 Greek census recorded 72 village inhabitants.[5] In 1928, the refugee families numbered 21 (69 people).[5]
