=== Ferries to Cyprus ===
From [[Turkey]] there are ferries to [[Kyrenia]] ("Girne") from [[Taşucu]] (Mersin Province), [[Alanya]] and [[Antalya]]. 
<br>WINTER : The night (slow) ferry From [[Taşucu]] is 72TL, including port taxes. 
<br>SUMMER : In summer fast ferries run everyday. 
<br>There are also ferries Between [[Mersin]] City in [[Turkey]] and [[Famagusta]] "Gazimagusta" in the East of the North side. <br>However, booking a plane ticket from any  major city in the South of Turkey to the Airport in North Cyprus is cheaper. It only requires some pre-planning.
