Lavrio Cyprus Haifa 'ferry'
I convinced myself the Lavrio Cyprus Haifa 'ferry' was a regular RoRo like Nuweiba but was no more.
But I'm mistaken.
It still runs and is here right now, but is a 'vehicle freight ferry' like the similarly handy KL to Borneo one.
A freighter where, as well as containers, they can Ro your vehicle on and Ro it off.
You fly.
Theft concerns I suppose.
Once a week ~60 hours
So, the Europe > Israel then overland to Africa via Nuweiba link still stands, making the burned-out Duba ferry and dashes across Syria redundant.

HUBB user Goo tells me:
[in 2018] It cost €310 and I paid about $100 in Haifa for customs clearance.
Yes, just left it parked by the boat, Alexo, in Lavrio and they pushed it on.
Nothing was stolen - I left my helmet and jacket and panniers all locked on the bike.
Paperwork was fairly simple as I recall. A couple of forms to fill in in advance, plus copies of documents to send. They wanted to see proof of Israeli insurance but in the end that was impossible to get in advance and they let it go.
Price and details confirmed promptly by Salamis today.
