I want to take it so my cousin can put it on eBay Turkey....they're selling for loads of money on there, and I have 2 so I don't mind selling 1 of them....but HOW do I get it to Cyprus???
There are a number of options.
One thing is certain, you cannot take it on the plane with you and sit next to it. It is highly illegal, the chances are your going to Larnaca Airport and we have already established that your Turkish, I know your intentions are innocent but they certainly would ask a few questions. So take my advice and avoid taking it with you on the plane.
You however have a number of choices. You can call up the airport your going from and ask for a special cargo purely for your item. This will be placed alone away from other luggage's.
You have the second option (my preferred), to contact the Parcel Force and have them transfer your parcel over. This will no doubt cost you money, likewise with the cargo option. However since the occupied areas is not official Cyprus you might encounter afew problems. The special cargo is probably the best choice considering your circumstances.
