Kleisoreia (Greek: Κλεισώρεια, before 1927: Τραπαντούστιον – Trapantoustion),[2] is a village and a community of the Voio municipality in Western Macedonia, Greece.[3] Before the 2011 local government reform it was part of the municipality of Tsotyli, of which it was a municipal district.[3] The 2021 census recorded 35 inhabitants in the village.[1]

According to the statistics of Vasil Kanchov ("Macedonia, Ethnography and Statistics"), 237 Greek Christians lived in the village in 1900.[4]

Trapantoustion was a mixed village and a part of its population were Greek speaking Muslim Vallahades.[5] The 1920 Greek census recorded 267 people in the village.[6] Following the Greek–Turkish population exchange, Greek refugee families in Trapantoustion were from Pontus (10) in 1926.[6] The 1928 Greek census recorded 211 village inhabitants.[6] In 1928, the refugee families numbered 9 (31 people).[6]
