Galateia (Greek: Γαλάτεια, Turkish: Mehmetçik, "Little Soldier")[3] is a village in the Famagusta District of Cyprus, located on the Karpass peninsula. It is under the de facto control of Northern Cyprus, where it is a municipality belonging to the district of Iskele.
A traditional Turkish village sitting high on a hillside overlooking the valley below,[3] Galáteia is most famous for its summer grape festival,[4][5] for which people travel from all over Cyprus and the world to attend.[3]
Renowned for the grapes harvested from its vineyards,[4][3] they are one of the most exported products to other areas of Cyprus. It is also well known for producing wine,[4] a Cypriot pomace brandy called Zivania,[3] and a traditional grape sweet called Sucuk.[3]
^In 1983, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus unilaterally declared independence from the Republic of Cyprus. The de facto state is not recognised by any UN state except Turkey.
