Mediterranean lands travel
Any advice appreciated! We have our 2007 Isle of Man TT bookings confirmed and are now planning a tour after the TT. We are 2 Kiwi's in our 50's and travel on R100GS/PD. Planning to travel 8/2007 UK-Italy-Crete-Turkey-Syria-Jordan-Eygpt. After this? Libya-Tunisia- ferry to Europe-UK
Advice please on: Ferries, Italy to Crete/Turkey. Ferries either Eygpt-Europe? Tunisia-Europe? Any other advice on travel though these countries appreciated, like to make contact with anyone who has experience in these areas.
thanks in anticipation, Rob and Lynda Hargreaves

There are a few ferry links at www.4x4-travel.co.uk on the "links" page.
May be of some use.

Hi Rob and Lynda,
I hate to say this, but "use the Search function" for the Middle Eastern countries you want to visit. There are many posts about them. After some reading you may want to scrub Egypt and Lybia, due to bureaucratic hassles. For Egypt at least you will need a Carnet de Passage from the NZAA. Expect to deposit 400% of the current value of your bike until you return. No ferries to Egypt any more.
Cheers,
Peter

Hello Robert, I just sprained a wrist with a very long post to another similar thread, so forgive me for being more concise.
I am not aware of ferries from Italy to Crete, not at all. From Bari/Brindisi to Igloumenitsa and Patras, then from there find the ferries to Crete.
email me at mpescatori@hotmail.com, and describe what you'd like to do, we'll see how to make you happy
Maurizio from Rome, Italy

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
