Alanya to Kyrenia Ferry Tickets

A sea link between Alanya and northern Cyprus

For travellers based on Turkey's southern coast, a ferry rather than a flight is often the more practical way to reach northern Cyprus, particularly for a family already settled in Alanya for a beach holiday who want to add the island to their trip without repacking for an airport. The crossing carries passengers and their belongings across open water between the two coastlines, offering a continuous sea journey rather than a connection through a third airport. For many Gulf and Arab families with relatives or property in Kyrenia, this route has become a familiar way to move between the two coasts each year.

Leaving from Alanya's Mediterranean port

Alanya sits on Turkey's Mediterranean coast beneath its hilltop fortress, and the port used for this crossing serves as the starting point for the journey north to Cyprus. Passengers gather at the terminal before boarding, with the harbour itself offering views back toward the old town and the citadel above it while waiting. Because the port lies within the city, transferring from a hotel in Alanya to the terminal is generally a short trip, which suits families travelling with children, luggage or older relatives who prefer not to cover long distances before a sea crossing begins.

Arriving into Kyrenia harbour

Kyrenia, known locally as Girne, receives the ferry at its own harbour on the island's northern shore, a small port town built around a horseshoe-shaped bay lined with a historic castle and waterfront cafes. Arriving by sea rather than by air gives a different first impression of the town, with the castle walls visible from the water as the boat draws in. From the harbour, onward travel into Kyrenia itself or further across northern Cyprus is straightforward, and many passengers use this port as the starting point for time with family or a stay on the island's north coast.

Who travels this route

This crossing is used by a mix of travellers: families with relatives settled in northern Cyprus, Gulf and Arab visitors combining a Turkey holiday with island time, and travellers who prefer to keep their belongings and vehicle together across the crossing rather than checking them in for a flight. Extended families making the Alanya crossing together also value how the desk keeps every relative's name on one shared booking record, matching the party list against the sailing before the Kyrenia crossing is confirmed. Business travellers moving between the two coasts for short visits also choose this crossing over a longer flight connection through a third city.

Documents and preparing for the crossing

As with any international sea crossing, passengers should travel with valid identification or passports for both Turkey and northern Cyprus, and should confirm with the Haqqi Tours desk which documents are required for their nationality before the day of travel. Arriving at the port with time to spare for check-in avoids last-minute pressure, and keeping travel documents together with the confirmed booking makes the process at the terminal simpler for the whole family. If any requirement is unclear, the Haqqi Tours desk can check the current rules for a passenger's nationality before the travel date is fixed.

Booking Alanya to Kyrenia tickets with Haqqi Tours

Haqqi Tours handles the booking and confirmation of Alanya to Kyrenia ferry tickets directly with the operator, checking sailing availability before any payment is requested and sending written confirmation once seats are secured. The Arabic and English desk remains reachable on WhatsApp around the clock for questions about documents, luggage or connecting the crossing with transfers, tours or accommodation on either side of the sea, so the whole trip is arranged through a single point of contact. Families who also need onward tours, transfers or hotel arrangements on either coast can ask the same desk to put the full itinerary together.
