There are schedule ferryboats travelling from Girne (Kyrenia) and Gazi Magusa (Famaugsta) to Turkey.  Turkey’s south coast ports are Mersin, Alanya and Tasucu.  There are passenger ferries and car ferries but the car ferryboats run much slower than the passenger ferries.

This brings up the subject of Passports and Visas which we have given detailed in our information section under the title Permits and Visas.
