Megaro (Greek: Μέγαρο, before 1927: Ραδοσίνιστα – Radosinista)[2] is a village and a community of the Grevena municipality. Before the 2011 local government reform it was a part of the municipality of Agios Kosmas, of which it was a municipal district.[3] The 2021 census recorded 301 residents in the village.[1] The community of Megaro covers an area of 24.757 km2.[4] An autobiography was published in 2023 by Christos J.
