Ieropigi (Greek: Ιεροπηγή, before 1927: Κοστενέτσι - Kostenetsi[2]) is a village in Kastoria Regional Unit, Macedonia, Greece.
The Greek census (1920) recorded 563 people in the village.[3] Following the Greek-Turkish population exchange, in 1926 within Kostenetsi there were 11 refugee families from Pontus.[3] The Greek census (1991) recorded 501 village inhabitants.[3] There were 12 refugee families (53 people) in 1928.[3]
By the 1950s, the Greek government assisted a group of nomadic transhumant Aromanians to settle in depopulated villages of the area like Ieropigi.[4] Aromanians are now the only inhabitants of the village.[4]
