Byzantine Empire (330 - 1453 A.D.) ((( -1922
The only Empire ever existed that stood alive for more than 1000 years. All that period it received continuous blows from barbarians. It was the fortress of Christian Europe, cultivated and mixed the ancient greek philosophy along with christianity.

Dear Mr. Ekin,
I went to Ayvalik in August 2001 and my natural curiosity led me to visit this imposing mansion. Just like you, I was intrigued by such a stately house and also by the fact that it was left to decay. I didn’t know it was used as an orphanage before. But from a book I bought in Athens, “Ionia – The Greeks in Asia Minor” by Stantis and Irkos Apostolidis (Adam editions, 1997), I learnt that this neoclassical building was originally the palace of the Bishop, Ayvalik/Cunda (or, in Greek, Aivali/Moschonisi) being a prosperous place of Christian orthodoxy, with many churches and monasteries. In Turkey, the building was referred to as “Despot’un Evi”. Wandering the streets of Cunda, I also discovered the former Greek cemetery where, apparently, nothing was left. But my eyes were drawn to a small fragment of marble emerging from the dusty earth. It appeared to be the corner of a beautiful marble tombstone on which there was a Greek inscription. A friend of mine translated what she considered “strange Greek language” and told me that it was a priest’s grave. After Ayvalik, I also discovered Foça, Pergamum, Söke, Cappadocia… If you are interested in Ayvalik, I can recommend you to read: “Kentli Ayvalik” by Berrin Akin (2005), “Ayvalik’i gezerken” by Ahmet Yorulmaz and “Twice A stranger” by Bruce Clark – see chapter 1, “Ayvalik and its ghosts” (Granta, 2006). Thank you for your articles which I had great pleasure and interest to read.
Don’t hesitate to write to me. My E-mail address is: philippe.brier@vidal.fr.
Best regards from France.

Hello Philippe, and thank you for your very informative comment. I have been visiting Ayvalik for quite a few years and find something new to explore every time. I will look for the books you mentioned and share this comment with my family who have a house in Ayvalik. I have quite a few articles and photograph collections from Ayvalik and a few bound folios in magazine format. The most recent ones you can see in digital format on screen, printed versions are available as well. The orphanage was in operation until mid 1980s when it moved to a new building just behind the old one. I was amazed how quickly it has deteriorated, just like the Kirlangic Olive Oil factory I documented. Preservation may be costly in monetary terms, but lack of preservation bears a higher cost in lost culture which I have seen too many times in places I visited in Turkey. Sad but true.
........................................and so on........
Cemal
