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 North 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.

In old times, the temple bell resounded throughout Nanping Hill every day, summoning to pray for good fortune at Jingci Temple. Emperor Kangxi once said that the temple rouses one into deep thoughtfulness, and today monks of Jingci Temple still adhere to their daily sutra-chanting and meditation.

If you walk through the Port a Mare (Sea Gate) from the harbour you will end up at this oblong, and often very crowded, piazza. It is overseen by the grand, late-medieval Catalan façade of the Palazzo d’Albis.
