4leafclover,



The best person to answer this would be UKTURK.



He lives in Marmaris and travels over on a semi regular basis.

thanks mcsteviet,



my sister stays in north cyprus and we are planning on visiting whilst we are in Marmaris , i didnt realise it would cause me so much problem.



we can fly from Dalaman for £363 , this looks like my only option, but we wouldve prefered a boat trip accross.



i'll keep checking to see if ukturk replies.



cheers for your reply

I too would be interested in the answer.



We have some friends getting married in Turunc (close to Marmaris), next year and will want to combine that with a trip to our Villa.



I am suprised at the price though. Where have you got the price of £363 from.



It's only an 1/2 hr flight.......

hi 4leafclover

your best bet to go to cyprus from marmaris is to go to dalaman which is a hours drive away can be a hour and a half by coach annd get the plane accross which takes around 45mins so all in all you could be in cyprus in 3 hours including check in and will cost you around £100 for return ticket which is far better for time and greif going to alanya five hours or so from marmaris then 3 and a half hours boat journey and will probabley be the same cost

hope this helps

Flights from Dalaman to Ercan and back - seem the most sensible and nearly as economic as trying to drive yourself - as Uktrk so rightly says.



Any good travel agent should have told you in North Cyprus.



If not talk to TRNC/Turkey experts in the UK

If you are flying UK Dalaman Ercan during the summer you may find this years dates help a little

Birmingham Mondays

Manchester Wednesdays and Saturdays

Gatwick Fridays

Stansted Sundays
