No matter what the political rights and wrongs may be the fact is that the divided island of Cyprus is closer to Turkey than Greece and it is possible to get to Northern Cyprus by ferry.
Turks and non-EU ntaionals are unable to cross the border between Northern Cyprus and Southern Cyprus. However, European Union citizens CAN cross from one part of the island to the other.
Flights from Turkey to Northern Cyprus are now so cheap that few holidaymakers use the ferries. Instead they are used to move Turkish troops, something women might want to be aware of since they can find themselves alone in long queues of men.
