The humble pier and coastal warehouses of this ancient anchorage -Karavostasi translates as the mooring place of the ships- is 10 miles south-west of Güzelyurt. In the 1920s it was transformed into a great processing and exporting centre for Cypriot copper and asbestos. These works were abandoned in mid-1970s.
