Very real problems in doing that. Via the south may be an option but if you didn't come in that way it's a non-starter.

Fly to Turkey Then 14 days holiday in Portugal Then onto the UK

According to the BRS:

LEAVING CYPRUS VIA THE REPUBLIC

We have been advised by the Consular Department of the British High Commission that persons LEAVING via Larnaca or Paphos airports WILL BE allowed to leave despite having overstayed during the pandemic.

However, at the airport they will be advised by RoC Immigration officers that if they re-enter via Larnaca or Paphos they will be given a 90-day visa and that they MUST leave within that 90-day period OR they WILL BE REFUSED ENTRY to the Republic.

No exceptions!

Thank you Hedgefund for that info, clear and understandable.

How about transiting back to Ireland

Northern Ireland may be grouped in/as "UK & Northern Ireland" - or maybe not....
Furthermore - ARE there any direct flights Turkey - NI?
Eire does have direct flights - what are Eire's restrictions? Check Eire's government site...
