Cyprus help please: need to get my car there.
Hi, my wife and I are about to set off driving from the UK to and through Africa on an Overland trip for a year or two.
On the way to Africa we need to be in Cyprus (south) for 4-6 weeks for a wedding in early June. We will therefore need to take our own car from mainland Europe into Cyprus.
I understand that Grimaldi may go into Cyprus with a freighter from Italy, but we had hoped to tour Greece and / or Turkey for a while before finding a way into Cyprus.
I understand that this is pretty difficult.
So, I have 2 questions please:
1) How can we get our own car into either Northern Cyprus or Southern Cyprus?
2) If we were able to get it into Northern Cyprus, would we be able to take it into Southern Cyprus?
Finally, just to complicate matters, we will ultimately need to freight our car from Turkey (Mersin) into Egypt (probably Alexandria) after the wedding (since we can't drive through Syria!), so we would rather not have to come back out of Cyprus and all the way back to Italy, just to then have to drive all the way round to eastern Turkey for the ship to Egypt.
ANY ideas would be REALLY appreciated.
Regards
Scott
ps - we leave the UK on Monday! Oh boy!
