Makrochori (Greek: Μακροχώρι, before 1928: Κωνομπλάτη - Konomplati[1]) is a village in the Kastoria regional unit in West Macedonia, Greece.

This article is about the village in West Macedonia. For the village on the outskirts of Istanbul, see Bakırköy.

The name of the village in Bulgarian and Macedonian is Кономлади, Konomladi. A village in Petrich Municipality, Blagoevgrad Province, Bulgaria, is named Novo Konomladi (Bulgarian: Ново Кономлади, "New Konomladi"). This is because it was mostly populated by Bulgarian refugees from Makrochori who moved to Bulgaria after the Balkan Wars of 1912–1913.[2]
