Hi,

I am visiting Haifa in a couple of weeks with my fiance and have been told you can get a boat to Cyprus from Haifa. Does anyone have further information, website with costings?

Also I only have 2-3 days in Haifa before going onto the Dead Sea, does anyone have suggestions of the best places to visit, see, restuarant in 2 days. We will be staying in the Carmel area.

Thanks
Mayanf

Not true according to this website:
http://www.varianostravel.com/Cruises/ferry_service.htm

Services stop at the end of October. But wjy go to Cyprus when you only 2-3 days available? The crossing takes more than 24 hours each way.

Salamis lines also runs a transport ferry (cars, trucks) that sometimes accepts paying passengers as well.

I do also wonder at how you expect to visit Cyprus if you have only 2 - 3 days in Haifa...
