Take sea sickness tablets. Known to be rather a rough crossing on occasions

Please check with the ferry company, as this service closes after the holiday season. I think the high speed ferries are opparated by Fergun Ferry Company.
We holiday for 4 months in Gazipasa and see the ferry pass but this is no a constant service.

Is it still £10 into alanya or that just the saying bob ?
Did it change with the new entry visa like other turkish entrance visas ?

Came the other way, Turkey to Cyprus, when we retired over 7 years ago. It is a must do to watch the Island grow out of the sea!! Never mind the state of the ferry, take your camera, watch out for the dolphins, enjoy the toastie that the crew make, sit up on the top if you can find a space amongst those on the very small deck, have fun getting on and off climbing over the piles of luggage. It is something not to be missed.
