Vatolakkos (Greek: Βατόλακκος, before 1919: Νταβράτοβο – Ntavratovo,[2] between 1919 and 1927: Ντοβράτοβο – Ntovratovo)[3] is a village and a community of the Grevena municipality. Before the 2011 local government reform it was a part of the municipality of Grevena, of which it was a municipal district.[4] The 2021 census recorded 262 residents in the village.[1] The community of Vatolakkos covers an area of 8.951 km2.[5]

Ntavratovo was populated by Greek speaking Muslim Vallahades.[6][7] The 1920 Greek census recorded 381 people in the village, and 381 inhabitants (71 families) were Muslim in 1923.[8] Following the Greek–Turkish population exchange, Greek refugee families in Ntavratovo were from Asia Minor (27) and Pontus (63) in 1926.[8] The 1928 Greek census recorded 353 village inhabitants.[8] In 1928, the refugee families numbered 90 (331 people).[8]
