Hi Tiggy,



Unfortunately we do not have a service to Israel from the ports in the TRNC, you can travel to Turkey and Syria only.

A friend went with Salamis Travel on a tour last week, 12 hours on ferry out, day visiting Bethlehem and Jerusalem and 12 hours back for 300 Euros. They can probably tailor a trip to suit your needs. Think they are based in South Nicosia.

Tiggy,



Is that you looking to find the Chapel of the Holy Virgin?

PP told you before I am a straight man. Go and find someone else to try and pull.



Forum users, the info above is for some friends who are going to Paphos for a wedding in September and have always wanted to see Jerusalem.



Cheers.

We did the Salamis cruise trip to Israel recently from Limmasol basically 2 nights on board and 1 full day tour of Jerusalem and Bethlehem recently and really enjoyed it. It was 300 euros including all meals (excluding drinks) and private outside cabin. Most passengers were Russian speaking but English speakers were well catered for as well.

A friend & I travelled to Israel via Egypt, from U.A.E. where we worked & we were told to not let them stamp our passports or we would not get back into U.A.E. but Egypt was more reasonable. We stayed few days in Cairo & then to Tel Aviv, (not problem as my middle name is Rachel! joke) Went round Jerusalem & them by bus to Bethlehem. Also swam in. Dead Sea & saw where Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden, en route to (God, senior moment) place where Jews held out against Romans & committed mass suicide rather than be taken by the pagans.
