Dispilio (, before 1926: Δουπιάκοι – Doupiakoi) is a village near Lake Orestiada, in the Kastoria regional unit of Western Macedonia, Greece. Near the village is an archaeological site containing remains of a Neolithic lakeshore settlement that occupied an artificial island.
==Archaeology== The remains of the lakeside settlement were discovered in 1932. The lake level was especially low in 1932 owing to a dry winter and some infrastructural works around the lake, revealing the remains of piles sticking out of the lake bottom. These have been interpreted as supports for stilt houses and walkways, similar to those found at other sites in Europe, such as the Somerset Levels
