Overlanding Turkey to Cyprus // Crazy Ferry to Northern Cyprus

In a bid to push the weather along in Turkiye we decided to hop over to Cyprus to squeeze a little more time out of our remaining weeks. There were rumours about the ferry 'service' and it was definitely an experience...
We are Kerry & Craig; Husband and Wife team from the UK with big plans for a tiny house on wheels and so, meet Penelope, our ex-army Leyland DAF T244 which we are converting into an expedition vehicle to travel the world - van life supersized!

Great video mate, were thinking of travelling from UK through Europe and into Turkey then getting ferry over to Cyprus! In a Mercedes E350 lol wish us luck 😂

[@user-vm3mj1iw8m]

i want to go, from Cyprus - turkey - all Europe, and after back )))

[@rajmundlassak9141]

👍🏼

[@projectoverland5264]

What a cracking episode - really interesting although I’m not surprised 😂

[@PenelopetheTruck]

Thanks Dave! We do hear that the other company is much better, shame we have an open return with this one 🤪

[@granvilleyeomans5996]

I’m impressed you managed to cross from the North into the south, especially as you entered Cyprus via the North.

[@PenelopetheTruck]

Lots of did and it seems lots of every year, it’s different for residents I understand but it was super straightforward and no issues or concern 😁

[@OutandaboutwithAndy]

Sounds like a paragon of efficiency over there 😄 Bringing the truck over sounded like an excuse to bleed tourists dry too.

[@thebuffalooverlander]

3am and you weren’t “sober” 😂😂🙌🙌

[@TheMattK2011]

Thanks for the video, makes Morocco look easy :)

[@PenelopetheTruck]

Not done Morocco in the truck yet, we’ve heard some stories about that one too 😆

[@PenelopetheTruck]

😅 just rewatching this now we’re back in Türkiye - it wasn’t this bad coming back thankfully!

[@wedrivetheworld]

Looks like more trouble than it’s worth 24 hours to get to Cyprus good video guys well done

[@PenelopetheTruck]

Thank you! It’s worth it now we’re here 😁

[@unimog404]

If everything gets smooth it gets boring 🤣

[@PenelopetheTruck]

And who wants smooth and easy anyway 😆

[@notesfromtheworld]

Hey guys! I need to cross by foot to Turkey- which ports are still working ? And how many hours did it actually take ?

[@PenelopetheTruck]

Hey 👋🏻 depends on the ferry company, this particular ferry company will take around 12 hours from checking in to getting out on the other side (Tasucu to Girne) might be less for foot passengers. You can sail Girne to Tasucu or Famagusta to Mersin. Hope this helps 👍🏻

[@evghenigherghelejiu9499]

Did you cross into south?

[@PenelopetheTruck]

We did! Spent a few weeks north first then crossed at Nicosia

[@OlympicAirwaysAirlines]

basically you entered Europe illegally that’s nuts.

[@PenelopetheTruck]

If it was truly illegal and a criminal offence the Cypriot border guards would not allow you to cross to the South and would not scan your passport
