Morphou: (Güzelyurt) |
Morphou, which means `beautiful
country' in Turkish, is aptly named. Situated in the north-west with a
population of 12,000; it is a charming little town which is surrounded by citrus
groves; their wonderful heady scent is itself a good enough reason for a visit
in blossom time.
Underwater springs nourish the apples, vegetables, grapefruit and melons for
which the area is also famous. A large proportion of the citrus fruits are
exported and the remainder are turned into fruit juice and canned for local
consumption and export.
Morphou is also famous for its annual Orange Festival, which is a major event
lasting two weeks.
