Boat from Athens / or Turkey to Cyprus?

[Onahi]

I've researched, You can only take a boat from Athens, Greece, to Cyprus. To access the south. From Turkey the south its not possible.
Anyone recently taken this route ?

If you land from Turkey, it’s my understanding you cannot cross into the south as the landing point is not legally recognised.

You can only go from Athens if you need to access the south and that’s a monster ferry trip……

Not much in Cyprus really… not certain it’s worth the effort

I’ve been recently…… but used EasyJet……

Basically, you can't enter from the North as it's occupied territory. Bit of a sore point, kind of "don't mention the war" type of thing.

If you want to ride in Cyprus (and you should! ) check out Ippos Bros. rentals in Paphos.

Cedar Valley Road is a highlight but it's hard to find a bad road once you're away from the coast.
