Bike storage in Turkey

After 2 years in Africa I am now in Turkey and would like to go to Iran .My problem is that I had an accident and it seems I need a operation of my knee in Germany. My question is, am I allowed to leave Turkey by plane without my bike and how long can I store it in Turkey.
Where is a good place to store it for a month.

Probably you will take the flight from İstanbul, so you have to leave it at customs parking area close to Atatürk Airport or a trustable and acceptable place with an application form called anex-7..

One copy will be stamped by customs authorities with a permission to leave the country without the bike.

Here is the link to the forms, in English(for you) and Turkish(for customs)..

Best wishes.

Bike storage

Yes, I traveled with Chris all the way from Nairobi, where I met him, up to Turkey. He made it save back to Germany.

Thanks for your great advice.

Or somewhere in Greece or Bulgaria? In Bulgaria, I can suggest Moto Camp Bulgaria | MotoSapiense

You'd be in the EU then and have no problem with permits/customs etc.

Sorry to hear you had some problems to make a break..Sincerely hope you recover all very soon.
Yes,we had great talks in İstanbul with Chris(D), your patient and friendship to accompany a vespa is so appreciated here...

Thats a better solution to keep at motocamp in Bulgaria.No paperwork and thats why some friends also keep their bikes there...The distance must be something about 550 km. to İstanbul..

Best Wishes...

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
