Plikati (, ) is a village in the municipal unit of Mastorochoria, Ioannina regional unit, Greece. It is one of the northernmost villages in Epirus. The village architecture is of stone houses with slate roofs, some either two or three storeys in height.
== Name == In the regional geographical literature of the early 19th century, Athanasios Psalidas and Kosmas Thesprotos wrote the name of the village as Pelikati. The toponym is derived from the Albanian root pellg(u) meaning 'swamp', 'marsh' and in a geographical context refers to a 'basin'. The suffix -ati is used to indicate inhabitants of a place or for names of members of a family. The toponym initially as Pellgati indicated "inhabitants of the basin". The basin in the area of Plikati was formed by the Gorgopotamos river, a tributary of the Sarantaporos river.
