Ferry to Cyprus

HI Everyone
I have most of my route planned to visit every county in Europe next year but I am having some difficulties in finding a ferry route to Cyprus it is not looking good to get the bike over, I may have to park it up somewhere in Turkey and get the passenger ferry over. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Seems you are planning to get to Cyprus from Turkey...
2 private companies running ferries.

Cyprus Ferry

Hi, I did this crossing by bike in August this year. I crossed from Tasucu to Girne in the occupied zone. I pitched up on spec in Tasucu and there was a ferry that night. That was on a Wednesday, I bought a ticket from a travel agent right next to the port. They were a bit vague about how often the boat runs but the next boat back from Cyprus was on the Thursday a week after. So I think it only goes once a week, leaves on the Wednesday night and comes back on the Thursday night. It's an overnight crossing on what is pretty much a freight boat. On the way over it was me, 3 cars and a shed load of lorries. The return trip was a bit busier but still loads of space so if you pitch up I don't think you'll have a problem getting onboard. The return trip was about £170. I'd take some food and drink with you....

Sadly I can't remember the name of the company....

If you have any specific questions please PM me.

John
