Welcome to Güzelyurt — a charming town in Northern Cyprus, nestled in the centre of the island's citrus-growing region. With its name translating to "Beautiful Place", Güzelyurt lives up to its reputation with stunning, rich and fertile landscapes. Located close to the Troodos Mountains' foothills, this town is a bountiful agricultural hub, producing a variety of vegetables and fruits, earning it the nickname "Fruit Basket" of Cyprus. While Güzelyurt may not be as architecturally or culturally diverse as other towns in Northern Cyprus, it boasts deep historical roots and hidden charms waiting to be discovered. During your visit, make sure to explore the Morphou Archaeology and Nature Museum and the Church of St Mamas, a late 18th-century church that blends Gothic and Byzantine architectural styles, housing a stunning glass chandelier. You can also immerse yourself in local life by visiting the bustling market on Saturdays, where you can find fresh local produce. Enjoy a scenic drive along the coast, stopping at roadside stalls for freshly squeezed juice, and if you're feeling adventurous, join the windsurfers who flock to Güzelyurt's windy shores to ride the waves all year round.

Dive into the wonders of the Indian River Lagoon at the Marine Discovery Center, a non-profit dedicated to preserving this unique estuary and educating the public about its fragile ecosystem. Visitors can join guided boat or kayak tours to explore the lagoon’s rich biodiversity, with opportunities to spot playful dolphins, manatees, and an array of bird species.

This long and sheltered beach is very popular among both tourists and locals. With its crystal clear water and white sand it is also very beautiful. Some of the services you find here include boat hiring and sunbeds, and for those who wish to spend more than one day here there are also hotels close by.
