Please can anyone tell me how to book the ferry to Kyrenia on Thursday or do you turn up and hope for the best? If you are in the know or have a contact, my wife and I wish to go on Thursday this week and come back on Sunday, as we have to drive from Dalyan we don't really want to turn up after driving for 7 hours just to find it is full up. Someone please help!!!

Hi there..the ferry on a Thursday leaves at about 11am or 12 md..you can get your ticket from the Fergun Offices which are on the street leading to the harbour. You will also be charged port taxes which is very little.
Get there early to be sure of a seat in the cabin. The journey takes between 3 and 4 hours. You can take a taxi from the Harbour to the town Harbour(there are two harbours).we have always stayed in one of the little hotels around the town harbour..the Golden Lion is ok and reasonable..
When you go back go to the ferry harbour you will see a building with steps on the outside..(next to the customs/passport control..its necessary to go there to verify your ticket if you have booked a return,its a formality.
Then when you go into the waiting room before passing through passport control notice a little booth at the side of the door where people will be queuing..you pay your port taxes there again before going through passport control.
its all straight forward but knowing these little bits helps to ease it.
Have a wonderful time, Girne is a lovely little place and you can cross through into the Greek area through Lefkoşa/Nicosia crossing.
Also there are casinos on every corner in Girne where you can spend the night gambling or watching others losing their money...and have a free drink at the same time.

Hi Steve, it's cheaper to fly from Antalya.If you really want to use the Sea Cat then ShirleyAnne is the best to advise you.I do know that it goes from Alanya in the summer and The British Hotel by the harbour is 40 Euro's per night with breakfast.Was there last week and flew with Pegasus.

Thank you both very much for the answers. We are just trying the ferry for a change and we will be staying with friends but thanks for the Hotel advice. We already know about the casino's and shall avoid them thank you. Just not interested in gambling.
