Citron
A source of confusion is that "citron" or similar words in French (and other languages), and English are false friends, as they refer to the lemon. Indeed, into the 16th century, the English name "citron" included the lemon and perhaps the lime as well.
Limonlu, Mersin
Like most Mediterranean coastal towns, Limonlu produces fresh vegetables and fruits. The town has specialized in citrus production and in fact the name of the town means "with lemon". But lately, tourism has almost replaced agriculture as being the most important economic activity. In Limonlu coastal band, there are many summer houses owned by city dwellers (). The coastal band is also used for tent camps. Most of the town houses on the other hand, are rented as summer boarding houses.
