From Haifa, Israel to Limassol, Cyprus - October, 2006

At Israel side, the agency, ROSENFELD sold a ticket of the cargo ferry 200 euros including motorcycle. They said that charge was including everything, there would be no charge after arrival at Cyprus. I confirmed many times strongly.
I found '135 euros' written on the ticket and I asked them why. However, they got angry screaming contradicted explanation.

After arrival, the Cyprus side agency, SALAMIS required another 200 euros! (Exactly they change the price every time when I asked and rose up 200 euros finally)

The Cyprus side agency kept my passport and customs documents, so I could not help paying.

They also have another stratagem.
When we discussed at Cyprus, even though it was lunchtime, they said that today was so late, everything was tomorrow. Then they gave me a room for the night (I confirmed it was free).
The next day was Friday. On Saturday and Sunday, the customs were close. So they became bullish. In addition, they required the hotel charge that was twice of the true charge! I asked the all detailed statement, but they never gave me. (I checked the handling charge of Salamis secretly. It seemed to be 43.70 Cyprus pounds that was less than $100)

There seemed to be only one cargo ferry. Even though you get a ticket from another agency, if the ferry is 'Salamis,' you may fall into the same situation. Moreover, the insurance in Cyprus was very expensive. The minimum was $100 and a little per year. I recommend you never visit Cyprus with your vehicle.
