Gypsou (Greek: Γύψου; Turkish: Akova), sometimes also Gypsos (from Gypsum), is a village located in the Famagusta District of Cyprus, near the town of Lefkoniko. It is under the de facto control of Northern Cyprus. The village got its name from a small hill about 1 mile to the north. From this hill the locals produced Plaster of Paris, commonly known as Gypsum hence the name Gypsos. This is a mainly small scale farming village with farmers producing wheat, barley, vegetables and fruit.
