Hi!
Where it is possible to find the exact information on the ferry Lebanon - Cyprus and Cyprus - Turkey?

I know nothing about the Lebanon - Cyprus route.
I'm not sure there is a Cyprus - Turkey ferry route? I've been to Cyprus a couple of times in the last few years & there were not even flights to Turkey or to the Turkish held north of the island.
I was always told that to visit Turkey from Cyprus, you first had to travel to Greece?
Apologies if I'm wrong or out of date on this. There are ferries from Cyprus to Greece that do take motorcycles though.

There are ferries between the Greek part of Cyprus and Greece and between the Turkish part of Cyprus and Turkey - naturally! For details use Google & Co.
You can NOT cross from one part of Cyprus into the other! (And this mess is going to join the EU... oh well, a resolution of this silly problem is at long last in sight.Maybe by the time you actually get there the border will be open.)
I've never heard of a ferry to Lebanon from anywhere. If you find one be sure to let us know.
Good luck!

I did not mention that you can't cross the Cyprus "border" as I assumed that everyone knew that you were unable to cross.
There are boats that sail from Cyprus to Israel & back but I think that they're passenger/cruise ships only. You also have the problem of crossing the Lebanese/Israeli border - I assume that it's possible but could be difficult?

Unless things have changed in the past few years, you most certainly CAN cross from the Greek side to the Turkish side. I was out there at the time of the Turkish invasion and returned with my family a few years later. We crossed often through the crossing points in Nicosia.
