Agrapidies (Greek: Αγραπιδιές, before 1926: Γκόρισκον – Gkoriskon;[2][3] Turkish: Goriçka)[4] is a village in Florina Regional Unit, Macedonia, Greece.

The new modern Greek name of the village Agrapidies is derived from local plant fauna growing in the wider region.[5]

In the late 15th century, the village was recorded in an Ottoman document as a timar holding with 31 families.[6] In statistics gathered by Vasil Kanchov in 1900, Gkorisko was populated by 100 Turks and 35 Romani.[7] The village was Muslim and had 150 inhabitants in 1912.[6] The 1920 Greek census recorded 162 people in the village, and 155 inhabitants (21 families) were Muslim in 1923.[8]

Following the Greek–Turkish population exchange, Greek refugee families in Gkorisko were from East Thrace (4), Pontus (13) and the Caucasus (1) in 1926.[8] The 1928 Greek census recorded 102 village inhabitants.[8] In 1928, the refugee families numbered 19 (82 people).[8] The demographics of the village were not impacted by the Greek Civil War.[6]
