Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
AIVALI (Gr. Kydonia) , a prosperous town on the W.
coast
  of Asia
Minor
 , opposite the island of Mitylene. Pop. 21,000. It stands near the site of the Aeolian
Heraclea
 , on rising ground at the end of a bay which is separated from the Gulf of Adramyttium, and protected from the prevailing winds by the Moschonisi Islands (Hecatonnesoi). In 1821 it was burned to the ground during a fight between the Turks and the Greeks, and a large number of its Greek population killed or enslaved. It is one of the most thriving towns in the Levant, with a purely Greek population distinguished for its commercial, industrial and maritime enterprise. The exports are olive oil, grain and
wood
 , and a
fleet
  of fishing-boats supplies
Constantinople
  and Smyrna with fish; the exports in 1902 were valued at 987,070, and the imports at 336,693.
