Rare because it's Macedonian city, and your shitty government intentionally neglects everything Macedonian that somehow made it inside your greko modern borders
It is Lerin, city of Aegean Macedonians who Greeks brutally killed (including little kids and elderly people) and/or brutally force to leave their fatherland (exodus 1946-1948) and shamefully change the names of the Macedonian towns and the surrounding villages.

Try and find the original, macedonian names of the city and surounding places, the ones before 1926.
Try find the original names of the area since 3000 ago . We didn't born yesterday.
It was Turkish till 1913.
It was Greek before and after
