Güzelyurt (Morphou) is a district in the north-west of the island, looking out over the bay of the same name and famous for its orange and lemon groves. The annual Orange Festival is one of its best-known events. Jastin Off Licence's branches are at the other end of the island, in the Bafra Tourism Zone (İskele) and Famagusta. From Bafra to Güzelyurt is about 110 km via Nicosia, so we deliver to Güzelyurt with orders placed in advance, ideally in bulk.
Around the METU Northern Cyprus Campus
The METU Northern Cyprus Campus (ODTÜ Kuzey Kıbrıs) in Kalkanlı keeps the area lively all year. Students and academics living in houses and flats off campus often club together for a single order at the start of term or for graduation. That's also the most efficient approach for far-off areas: combining several households' orders into one delivery. The campus and halls have their own rules on alcohol, so we recommend having your delivery sent to an address off campus. We check age (18+) on every delivery.
Villages and houses among the groves
In villages such as Yeşilyurt, Aydınköy, Serhatköy and Zümrütköy, houses are often scattered among the orchards and hard to describe. Just send a location pin on WhatsApp. For a village wedding or a family meal in the garden, talk to us about cases of beer or raki a few days ahead and we can set stock aside.
What gets ordered?
- Start-of-term or graduation parties: beer, vodka, mixers.
- Family table: raki and red wine.
- Gifts: an aged whisky or cognac.
Seasons and events
Demand in Güzelyurt follows the harvest and the academic year. Orders rise during the spring orange harvest and festival, and again at the start of METU's autumn term. Groups going to a festival or outdoor event can ask for a bulk delivery to an address beforehand; check the rules on drinking in open spaces with the event organiser. If you often travel east to Nicosia or Kyrenia, you could also have your order delivered to another address on that route, which is sometimes the easiest solution over such a distance.
People staying in beach houses on Güzelyurt (Morphou) Bay, especially in summer, can order too. These houses may be far from village centres, so sharing your location is a must.
Delivery terms
Güzelyurt is one of our more distant areas. Once your order is confirmed by WhatsApp message or phone (+90 539 138 15 62), the delivery day, time window and charge are fixed according to the route and workload; only then does the driver set off. The hours of the branch preparing the order apply: Famagusta is open until midnight every day, Bafra until 2am Tuesday to Sunday (midnight on Mondays). You can pay cash in Turkish lira, pounds sterling, euros or US dollars, or by credit card. We have a separate page for Lefke and Gemikonağı further west; for the Nicosia link see Nicosia.
