Aetomilitsa (Greek Αετομηλίτσα; Albanian Denke / a; Aromuni Densko or Dentsko ) is a village in the northern Greek region of Epirus. With a height of 1420-1500 meters above sea level it is one of the highest villages, Greece.

Aetomilitsa was recognized under the name Dentsikon ( Δέντσικον ) in 1919 as a rural community ( kinotita ), 1927 first in Galataria ( Γαλαταριά ) and finally renamed in 1928 in its present name. The administrative affiliation changed several times: Originally part of the Ioannina Prefecture, came in 1939 to the Prefecture of Florina, was spun off in 1941 with the newly founded prefecture of Kastoria from Florina and came back in 1950 to the prefecture of Ioannina. With the administrative reform in 2010, it was amalgamated with three other communities Konitsa, where it has since formed a district and has the status of a local community.
