Taşucu
Spend a half‑day to a full day in Taşucu, mainly to catch the Cyprus ferry and walk the marina; no need to stay longer.
Taşucu is a small coastal town on the D400, best known for the year‑round car ferry to Kyrenia, Northern Cyprus. The harbour, a few beaches and a handful of budget hotels fit into a single day, especially if you connect from Silifke or a bus from Antalya.

Rules in force · 5
- Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Check whether your passport is visa-exempt; if it is not, apply only at evisa.gov.tr — lookalike sites charge extra and some sell nothing.
- Türkiye (Turkey) ↗At mosques cover shoulders and knees, take shoes off at the door, and women carry a headscarf; stay out during prayer times.
- Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Taxis must run the taximeter; refuse flat quotes, or book through BiTaksi or Uber so the ride is logged.
- Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Carry lira in small notes for tea, markets, tips and toilets; prices move with inflation, so treat every printed price as dated.
- Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Do not take stones, coins or tiles from ancient sites, and export no antiques without a museum certificate; travellers have been detained at airport customs.
