ORDU - The International Guitar Festival will start in northern province of Ordu on Wednesday.
Sources told the A.A correspondent on Tuesday that 18 Turkish and foreign guitarists will take stage in the festival.
Manuel Reina and Oscar Guzman of Spain, Fridoni Konzelidze of Georgia, Goran Krivokapic of Yugoslavia, Ricardo Moyano of Argentina and Cristina Azuma of France are among foreign guests of the festival.
The festival will end on June 23.
Ordu is one of the calmest and greenest sites along the Black Sea coast. Due to its rainy climate, the land is fertile, with vegetable and fruit gardens, and wide forests covering the whole area. A distinct characteristic of Ordu is its being the center of hazelnut production. The Golden Hazelnut Festival held in September is hosted by this city, and the local chocolate-nut confection is a tasty specialty.
