Luggage allowance on the ferry from Turkey to TRNC
On the night ferry, which also carries cars, you are allowed to bring three suitcases free of charge.
On the high-speed catamaran — two suitcases and one piece of hand luggage.
At the same time, there is no weight limit on any of the ferries.
Booking a transfer from the port
To transport a large amount of luggage, it is better to book a transfer from Girne port in advance. You can do this on the Kiwitaxi website — a driver will meet you with a sign displaying your name and will take care of the luggage. The convenience is that the driver will know where to go, and the trip will be prepaid with no surprises regarding price increases.
