At this point, instead of crossing to Northern Cyprus, It would be possible to continue to Iskenderun, Turkey and from there take the RoRo service to Haifa, Israel. However, that would add some 536 km to your journey. The Turkish shipping company Sisa Shipping RoRo service began on 20 November 2012. The sea voyage takes 12 hours and transits overland to Jordan.
