  Morphou Bay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Morphou Bay (Greek: Κολπος Μορφου, Kolpos Morfou; Turkish: Güzelyurt Körfezi), is a part of the Mediterranean Sea, located on the North Western side of the island of Cyprus.
The bay forms the westernmost seaboard of the break-away Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which claims the bay as its own territorial waters.
It was here that Turkey began landing supplies and volunteers to assist the Turkish Cypriots when the intercommunal violence between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities started in December 1963.

The fertile Karkotis Valley is oriented north-south, and is part of the larger Solea Valley that runs from Morphou Bay inland to the Troodos Mountains.

 Traces of the Eruption in Cyprus? — The Thera Foundation
All the pieces came from the surface except for some samples found in the Roman city of Ayia Irini which was abandoned around A.D. Yiali and Kos can be taken into consideration as source locality for some of the pieces.
I am not aware of anyone studying documented samples of the 8th century AD Thera pumice to see if its index of refraction differs significantly from that of the 15th century BC explosion pumice, but in any event this does not directly concern your particular sample, since it has a stratigraphic context.
As you probably know, a relatively large deposit of pumice extended along the shore of Morphou Bay near Ag.

Besides considerations of cheapness and continuous water flow and storage, the feasibility work has also seriously considered how to prevent the reservoir in the occupied area, where the water will be stored, from leaking water to the free areas of Cyprus.
The promotional report on the feasibility study says in the section concerning this matter: ``The Morphou aquifer came to mind first for the storage of the water to be brought to Cyprus, but this idea was given up when the subsequent studies showed that one-third of the aquifer lies within the Greek Cypriot sector.
Following further studies, it was found appropriate to bring the pipelines onto the shore at Morphou Bay and then pump the water for storage in a reservoir to be built in Panagra valley.''
