Kydoniai is the formal Greek name for the Turkish town of Ayvalık on the Aegean coast of Asia Minor, with a predominantly ethnic Greek population pre-1922. On the other side the inscription reads: I eat bread with tears, (I drink) poisoned water I have been raised with sorrows and sufferings Regards, Andreas
