Hi guys
i also went to Istanbul last april - but was seeing friends in Italy so got the ferry from Ancona to Greece - the riding in Greece is great but the tarmac can be slippery.
where do you get the ferry to Cyprus?
can you also get a ferry that will take a bike to Egypt?
regards
Richard

Hi Richard,
There is a ferry from Tasucu/Mersin(Turkey) to Girne(Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus) The price is quite cheap and suitable for vehicle transportaion if you take one of the ferry which are managed by Turkish Maritime. Takes about 6 hours, because they are dead slow. Other option is to take the faster ones. They cross in about 3 hours, but, I am not sure about vehicle transportaion with this ferries. There is definately no ferry connections to Egypt from Turkey.

Hi All,
I am now safely back home, having arrived about an hour ago. My trip from Turkey took me through Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Austria, Germany, Belgium and France.
I will do a full ride report for the site and post it in the next week or so.
Regards to all
Tony

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.

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.
