- In the South costs are higher than most of Europe except for when taxes are lower like for alcohol & cigarettes. Southern Cyprus like many places has become 2 cultures on top of each other native and immigrant i.e. a village square has a store and opposite a Bulgarian/Romanian/Philipina place with cheaper stuff. The North is usually about half price for many things, but alcohol is a little more expensive.

== Ferries to Cyprus ==
From [[Turkey]] there are ferries Between [[Taşucu]] (Mersin Province) to [[Kyrenia]] ("Girne"), [[Alanya]] and [[Antalya]]. The night (slow) ferry From [[Taşucu]] is 72 Lyra, including port taxes. In summer fast ferries run everyday, but in the winter there are 2 slow ferries weekly (60TL or 100TL return) There are also ferries Between [[Mersin]] City in [[Turkey]] and [[Famagusta]] "Gazimagusta" in the East of the North side. But, apparently booking a plane ticket from any major city in the South to the Airport in North Cyprus is cheaper. It only requires some pre-planning.
<br>There is a 2012 discussion about [http://www.world-nomad.com/tag/cyprus-ferries-to-israel/#axzz2PxaPRfT3 Israel ferries]. Salamis Lines sometimes have cruises [http://www.salamiscruiselines.com/phocadownload/cruise_program_en_2013.pdf 2013 Schedule]
