I have found various references to services but they all seem very old. any other ideas for getting there overland would be aprechiated Greece to Turkey by bus or train, then through Syria and Jordan, then take the ferry at Aqaba to Egypt. Most of what I have found on the web is no more useful than that comment. Bob Cromwell's page on Turkey says there's a ferry from Antalya with "no well-defined schedule" - if there's anywhere on the Mediterranean coast that would need a ferry service to Egypt that must be it, so I'd follow that lead up. ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 |

There are currently NO passenger ferries between Egypt and anywhere in Europe, as the services from Greece via Israel were all suspended in 2001. Regards Gerry |
