Tasucu Ferry Port Transfer
Tasucu Ferry Port private transfer for passengers sailing to or from Kyrenia, with door-to-door cars and roomy vans for students and families.
Transfer to Tasucu Ferry Port
Most Tasucu Ferry Port transfer requests are the first leg of a sea crossing: a student heading back to Kyrenia, a family visiting relatives in Northern Cyprus, a manager with a meeting on the island. Taşucu, in the Silifke district of Mersin, is one of the best-known ports linking the Turkish coast with Northern Cyprus. This page covers the port, the small town around it and how our private transfers get you there.
The Sea Route to Kyrenia
Two kinds of vessel sail from Taşucu to Kyrenia (Girne): ferries that carry cars, and faster boats for foot passengers only. For anyone taking their own car to Northern Cyprus, this is the main sea link from Turkey. Travellers who prefer not to fly, who carry a lot, or who want their car on the island choose it.
One warning up front. Sailings on this route have been irregular recently, and timetables and frequency can change at short notice. Before booking your transfer, confirm your sailing directly with the ferry operator. We get you to the port. Whether the boat sails is the operator's call.
Who Uses the Port
- Students at universities in Northern Cyprus returning at the start of term with suitcases
- Families with relatives on the island, travelling for holidays
- Business travellers crossing by sea for meetings in Kyrenia or Nicosia
- Holidaymakers who choose the boat over a flight
- Drivers taking their own car across for a long stay
- Returning passengers who land at Taşucu and travel on to Mersin or Adana
Luggage varies just as much. Students in particular travel heavy: a term's belongings, boxes, sometimes an instrument. A VIP Vito handles that far better than a sedan.
Taşucu Beyond the Quay
Taşucu is more than a pier. There is a small waterfront where fishing boats tie up, with restaurants and tea stalls along the shore. Passengers who arrive early often sit there with a tea before boarding. Central Silifke and the Göksu river are close by, and the beaches of Atakent, Susanoglu and Narlıkuyu run east along the coast.
Some travellers coming back from Cyprus stay a few days on the Silifke coast. In that case, book a point-to-point transfer from the port to your hotel or holiday home and plan the next journey as a separate transfer.
Transfers To and From the Port
We bring passengers to the port mostly from the airport, central Mersin and Adana, and we collect arriving passengers for hotels in Mersin, Adana or the airport. A couple travels well in a Business Sedan or Premium Sedan, families in a VIP Vito, larger groups in a Mercedes Sprinter. Prices are per vehicle.
If you want to land and go straight to the boat, timing matters; read our page on the transfer from Çukurova Airport to Tasucu Ferry Port before you book. Then choose Tasucu Ferry Port in the form, write your sailing time in the notes and compare vehicle classes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Taşucu to Kyrenia sailings running?
Sailings on this route have been irregular recently and timetables can change. Please confirm your sailing with the ferry operator before booking your transfer. We provide the road journey only; if a sailing is cancelled or retimed, send a change request through the My Reservation page and we will review your booking.
Can you pick us up when we arrive by boat?
Yes. We drive from Tasucu Ferry Port to hotels in Mersin, to Adana, to the beach towns along the Silifke coast and to the airport. Put the scheduled arrival time and sailing details in the notes. If your arrival time changes, send a change request through the My Reservation page.
Which vehicle suits a student heading back to Cyprus?
One student with two suitcases is fine in a sedan. With a term's worth of belongings, boxes or an instrument, a VIP Vito is the better choice. Several students catching the same boat can share the eight-seat Mercedes Vito, which keeps everyone together and lowers the cost per person.
How early should we reach the port?
Follow the check-in time recommended by the ferry operator, which can differ by vessel type and by whether you travel with a car. When choosing your pickup time, add that margin and allow for road traffic. If in doubt, an earlier pickup gives you a calmer start at the port.
