Hi,

We are proposing to visit UK shortly and then to bring a car back overland.

I have driven UK to Mersin before, but I wonder if someone can tell me

which days the ferry service from Mersin to Famagusta operates? And what is the cost for an avarage size estate car with 2 adult passengers? Also what time os day does it sail? How long is the croosing time-wise? Any reply and any other comments will be highly appreciated.

hi. if you look at the site http://www.akgunler.com.tr you should find what your looking for .. click on to the left hand side bit that writes DENİZCİLİK. then you can get the site in english... İ could not find the ferryboat to famagusta but it does go to kyrenia (Girne).

Well that is my problem! I know a service operates from Famagusta to Mersin, but where exactly does one go to book it? When does it sail (time/day/s), cost?

As far as I know the Mersin-Famagusta ferry no longer exists for reasons stated above.

I got the Mercin to Femagusta Ferry from South Turkey to Northern Cyprus end of 2007. It was still still running, despite everyone including the Tourist Information and hotel owners being in denial of its knowledge, even when there were advertising signs with phone numbers, visible in the street in front of their eyes.



It was a perfectly decent trip, cheap - nice food in the cafe, and comfortable seats inside. The journey was overnight, leaving in the evening, arriving in the early morning. I would definitely recommend it for anyone who wants to travel between the Southern Turkish coast, and Northern Cyprus, which has a number of beautiful and interesting archaeological remains, together with beautiful countryside.



Travelling from Northern Cyprus to Southern Cyprus, also was not hard. There are bus routes and roads across the island, with people from the island travelling across the border with freedom and without much delay.
