Lightbulb htaccess redirect to parked domains

hi;
i have a multilingual site (greek and english) e.g. mysite.com and two parked ones
mysite.gr
and
mysite.com.cy

the .com site is the site that appears in the serps. what i want is for the greeks to be redirected automatically to the .gr parked domain and for the cypriots to the .com.cy site in order to achive personalization.

i'm thinking to apply these redirects via ip in htaccess.

Also because the cypriots usually search english, their sites are in english language. so i was thinking when someone enters from cyprus, to be redirected to mysite.com/en instead of mysite.com where i have the default greek language. Is it considered as a sneaky redirect? will it affect my serps?

No this is not sneaky, and you can script this easily in PHP,
but here's something to think about: what if your visitor is from neither Greece nor Cyprus? Then you should give him a choice page.

i have that in mind. it's obvious that people from outsite of greece, would prefare to see the english version of the text. something like that, would improve personalization i think.
