Guide: Tips for the Taşucu–Kyrenia Journey
Have your documents ready
Before the journey make sure your ID or passport is valid; entry conditions for foreign nationals vary by nationality, so check an official source before you go. If you are crossing with a vehicle, also take your registration and insurance documents.
Arrive early and watch the weather
Set off early to be at the port before check-in closes; in summer the car park around the port can fill up. Sailings may be cancelled depending on sea and wind conditions; learn the ticket cancellation and change terms when you buy.
With a vehicle or without?
If you are travelling as a passenger only, the fast ferry takes less time; if you are taking your vehicle, check the vehicle-ferry days and reservation times in advance.
