History
By the end of Greek Invasion of Anatolia, Ahmetli and all its surrounding villages were burned by the retreating Greek forces. The Greek soldier Giannis Koutsonicolas from Arahova describes the events with the following words;
in the evening we left and passing through Ahmetli we burned it, as well as all the villages, marching all night, and almost in the morning we reached Kasaba which was being burned, as well as Çobanisa and Manisa and all the villages.
