Try the AA.com route planner site.

Biggest problem is the continuing lack of a drive on/off combined car and passenger ferry out of Lim. to Piraeus.

The biggest problem is when you drive to the edge of Paphos and hear a splash! :lol:

Hi,
I have just recieved a reply from a company called Champion Ferries, regarding Ro-Ro ferries from Piraeus to Limassol...which is on their route.


You can mail them at : [email protected]

They need to know the length and weight of the vehicle before they can give you a price.

Hope this helps....

I have driven both the Italy France route and the Yugoslavia, Austria, Germany Belgium route and variations thereof.

My vote goes for Italy and France. People are friendlier, food is MUCH better, and in France they have the BIS routes that take you away from the motorways on secondary roads along a scenic route that is magnificent.

To go that way you will need to use a second ferry from Patras to Ancona, but these are first class ferries, big, fast and comfortable, and reasonably priced too.

...the shops
the National Gallery
the Tower of London
Covent Garden
Norwich Market (which dates from Saxon times and is the largest of its kind in the UK)

All of which I hope to get to on my Christmas vacation :-) .
Parts of the Uk are rich in culture and history.
