Ferry options across the Med.

Just read the previous thread with interest - my question is a little more broad.

We are currently in Iran (en route from Bangladesh to the UK on a DR350 and an XTZ660) and will shortly head for the Middle East - Syria, Lebanon, Jordan. We had been planning to get the ferry from Haifa in Israel to Greece, but given the situation in Israel at the moment are now looking round for other options. Apart from Egypt, are there ANY other ferries across the Med? Anything from Lebanon? We can't find any concrete information either although we have heard rumours (possibly a little out of date) of a ferry from Lebanon to Cyprus. We are in the middle of our trip right now so any information would be greatly appreciated. (Please save us an extra 1500kms riding back up into Turkey...)

Thanks!

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.
