Dendrochori (Greek: Δενδροχώρι, before 1926: Δέμπενη – Dempeni;[2] Bulgarian/Macedonian: Дъмбени, Dambeni or Д’мбени, D'mbeni) is a village in Kastoria Regional Unit, Macedonia, Greece.

[citation needed] Dendrochori was a Macedonian Bulgarian[6] village of 1650 inhabitants at the beginning of the 20th century.

In 1878 Trpo Popovski from neighbour village Kosinec (Ieropigi) started to teach the local pupils the Bulgarian language.

However a stand at the nearby Battle of Lokvata in which the villagers inflicted disproportionate casualties on a much larger Turkish force became a nationalist rallying point and served as the basis for a poem by Lazar Poptraykov.

[10] In 1945, Greek Foreign Minister Ioannis Politis ordered the compilation of demographic data regarding the Prefecture of Kastoria.
