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 We can't find any concrete information either although we have heard rumours (possibly a little out of date) of a ferry from Lebanon to Cyprus.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!

This looks like good news!
