Niko many thanks you just made my uncle cry for joy.i showed my uncle he is one of the deca begalci he said he wanted to see if his house stood in Babchor.Sure enough we found it 66 years just as he left it .Of course the greek authorities confiscated it and gave it to someonelse to live.My uncle said that he even had a greek passport & the authorities wouldn't let him come back to Babchor much less give him his house back lands they took off him after he left as a child refugee.His father was jailed for speaking in Macedonian & there they beat him up till he diedTHe google street search is a marvellous yhing ny uncle remarked look at how technol;ogy is moving!I later showed it to my children.

Any parts of Vardar Macedonia on StreetView? Can't find any as yet.

[George S.]

google streetview is not in rom Macedonia .Why??Does anyone know??

[Niko777]

I wouldn't be surprised if the Macedonian government did not allow Google to cover the country, because it would allow people to see the poor living conditions of villages and cities...

This is great, but I'm a bit disappointed in the coverage of some of the villages. I first had a look at Krpeshina, and being a smaller village I thought fair enough that they didn't drive all the way through the village. But then I was looking at Nevoliany (a much larger selo) and they barely even entered the village. Still this is great for looking at Lerin. It brings back memories from my trip there as a kid over 10 years ago.

Hi guys. I haven't been on in a while but just saw this post and thought i'd add some info. For those who only know the original and not the neogreek names for their Macedonian villages, here are a few resources:
