Its story
Çınarlı Mosque was designed and built in 1880 by the Ayvalık architect Emmanuel Kounas as the Church of Agios Georgios. After the population exchange it was converted into a mosque in 1923; a mihrab and a minaret with two balconies were added, while the church plan was largely preserved. Because of the old plane trees (çınar) around the building, it is popularly known as Çınarlı Mosque. It stands in the middle of Ayvalık's old neighborhoods lined with stone houses.
