Karpuzlu Mayor Hayretin Anmak announced that archeological excavations in the ancient city of Alinda are to be launched by Austria's Vienna University. The ancient city is located within the boundaries of today's town of Karpuzlu in the Aegean province of Aydın... Alinda was founded by the Carians on the slope of a mountain looking east over today's Karpuzlu town... Seven aqueduct arches -- called the "seven eyes" by the locals -- still grace the old site.
