What are the rules for transporting a dog on a ferry from North Cyprus to Antalya? Where is the port in North Cyprus?

Responds to Elena Kochkina, Unique Cyprus Travel

The Lady Su ferry is on Mondays (23:59), Thursdays (13:00), Fridays (13:00) in Tashuja. In the winter, there is no communication with Alanya, with Antalya - never was.

Carry pets in special cages - ferry transport is possible, the animal is carried in the luggage compartment. Baggage - transportation free, without restriction. On the website of the Ministry of Trade and Customs of Turkey, it is said that an animal health certificate from a veterinarian (Veteriner Sağlık karnesi), a certificate of vaccination (Aşı Belgesi), a passport for a dog (Kimlik) and another (Eşgal Belgesi) are needed to import the animal. Upon arrival in Turkey, all animals without exception undergo a veterinary inspection.

Ferries to Turkey depart from the port of Northern Cyprus Girne (Kyrenia). There are 2 variants of the route: Girne-Tashuja (travel time 2 hours) and Girne-Alanya (journey time 3, 5 hours). There are no ferries before Antalya.

Ferries from Kyrenia go only to Alanya and Tashuja. And there are significant differences in the summer and winter schedule. In Alanya in the winter, flights do not go. Before Antalya with a dog you can get by plane only.

To do this, you must have the following:

  • transport-clipper by the size of the animal (it should be able to stand at full height inside);
  • veterinary passport of international type with all vaccinations by age;
  • a certificate with the results of an analysis for antibodies to rabies;
  • a certificate with a chip number or a record in the animal's passport;
  • a veterinarian's certificate of the animal's condition, issued no later than 3 days before departure (on its basis you will be issued a veterinary certificate);

What to recommend in advance:

  • visit a veterinarian, take the appropriate tests, vaccinate, install a chip and get all the necessary documents;
  • weigh the animal with the cage, measure the exact size of the cage (this must be indicated when booking an airplane ticket.

Payment for the animal will be made as a preponderance of baggage, regardless of the presence / absence of your own baggage at the airline's rates.

Contact the veterinary service of Northern Cyprus at your place of residence.
