Hillside | Tatlısu | Northern Cyprus

Hillside Tatlisu is a project of studio and one-bedroom apartments by Isatis Construction Group that this site places in Tatlısu, in the Gazimağusa (Famagusta) district of Northern Cyprus; the developer’s page lists two unit types, of 51 and 70 m², and names no town. This guide reads the Hillside Tatlisu project through those figures, adds sourced context on Tatlısu and on off-plan buying, and says where information is missing. The developer gives no price, completion date, unit count or title-deed category, so none of them is estimated.

Overview of the Hillside Tatlisu project

The developer’s Hillside page, with a Turkish version that carries the same content, presents the project under the Isatis Construction Group name and gives it little detail. It lists two apartment types, a studio of 51 m² and a 1+1 of 70 m², and eleven entries under Community Amenities, which the table below repeats.

The page names no town, street or map point, so the placement in Tatlısu comes from this site’s listing and not from the developer. The address in the footer is the Orchard complex in Yeniboğaziçi, which repeats on every Isatis page and is a company address, not the Hillside site. Its introduction speaks of “boutique hotel living amid the serene coastal ambiance” and calls the project by a name other than Hillside, so it reads as general text and says nothing checkable about the buildings.

The developer publishes no price, payment plan, unit count, number of blocks or completion date. This site holds a reference price range of GBP 111,000-195,000, entered in 2024 and not confirmed on the developer’s pages, and its record gives 2027 as the completion year; that is a site record and not a developer statement. The 2024 text of this listing also carried a unit count, a block count and instalment terms. The developer’s pages do not confirm them, so they are not repeated here.

The page makes no statement on rental income, yield or demand, and none is made here. Anyone considering a short let should read the Holiday Houses Law, which requires registration for lets of up to 60 days, and this site’s article on renting a property through Airbnb in Cyprus. For other listings in the country, see the Northern Cyprus properties page.

Unit types and sizes at Hillside

The developer’s page carries two specification cards, one under the Studio tab and one under the 1+1 tab. Each card lists bedrooms, baths, an area labelled “First floor rooftop garden”, a size and a type, and each tab holds a plan image.

The Studio card shows no bedroom (a dash), one bath, a 33 m² rooftop garden and a size of 51 m². The 1+1 card shows one bedroom, one bath, a 52 m² rooftop garden and a size of 70 m². Both are labelled apartments, and the Turkish page repeats the figures.

The page does not say whether the size includes the rooftop garden, or whether areas are measured gross or net. That gap changes every ratio, so the comparison table below shows both readings. All figures in it are calculated from the developer’s figures.

Under reading A, both types would enclose the same 18 m², which would leave the 1+1 no larger indoors than the studio despite its separate bedroom. That result would be unusual, so it is a reason to ask which reading is right and not a conclusion. Under reading B, the step from studio to 1+1 adds 38 m² in total, split equally between 19 m² of size and 19 m² of garden.

Either way, the gardens are large relative to the units: 64.7% and 74.3% of the published size, or 39.3% and 42.6% of the total under reading B. The label “First floor” is also unexplained. It may mean that the garden belongs to a first-floor unit, or that it sits on the roof of a lower storey. The page does not say how many storeys or blocks there are, whether the gardens are private or shared, or who maintains them.

Three questions would settle most of this: a dimensioned floor plan for each type, the condominium plan in which each unit and garden is registered, and a statement of whether the garden counts in the title area. The reference range of GBP 111,000-195,000 recorded by this site is not matched to either type, and its ends are GBP 84,000 apart (195,000 − 111,000), so no price per square metre is derived. A priced schedule by unit would allow one.

Location: Hillside Tatlisu and the Tatlısu area

Tatlısu (Greek Akanthou) belongs administratively to Gazimağusa district, Geçitkale sub-district, in the 2011 census table. It is not part of İskele district and not part of Kyrenia district, although some listings describe it as Kyrenia area. Its municipality calls it the north-westernmost settlement of Gazimağusa district. The census counted 1,459 people in the municipality’s three wards: Aktunç 671, Küçükerenköy 339 and Yalı 449 (671 + 339 + 449 = 1,459).

The municipality places the village 40 km east of Kyrenia, between the Beşparmak mountains and the Mediterranean coast, and the earlier text of this listing used the same figure. Measured from the village centre to Kyrenia Castle, the straight line is 39.2 km, while the drive is about 46.0 km and about 49 minutes (an OSRM estimate without traffic).

So 40 km describes the straight line, and 46 km the road. The developer does not locate the plot, so every distance here is from the village centre; the municipal area is about 66 km², and a plot elsewhere in it will differ.

Population figures conflict. The municipal fact sheet gives 2,700 residents, about 1,200 of them non-citizens, without a date; the Cittaslow profile gives 2,000; and the mayor was reported in January 2026 as saying the population rises above 8,000 in summer. Only the census is an official count. The others are statements, and the sources used here contain no newer official figure for the municipality.

The coast is not a sandy resort strip. The municipality describes its 22 km of shoreline as generally rocky, with small beaches and coves in places. The developer’s page gives no distance from the buildings to the sea and names no beach, so the beachfront wording of the 2024 listing is not repeated. Readers comparing coasts can use this site’s article on the top 10 beaches in Cyprus, which is not specific to Tatlısu.

The municipality lists greenhouse farming, cattle and small livestock, carob and olive growing, fishing, tourism and real estate as its economy, and says it is one of the main early-vegetable areas of North Cyprus. It reports becoming the fifth Cittaslow (“slow city”) municipality in the TRNC in a news item dated 7 June 2019. Its heritage list includes the Çiftlikdüzü excavation site, the ancient city of Molulos, the Panagia Pergaminiotisa church, the Minia Kıbrıs open-air museum and old carob stores.

Services are limited. The Tatlısu health centre opened on 21 January 2026 with a doctor for the first time in 12 years, according to a press report: a general practitioner attends five days a week, and an obstetrician-gynaecologist, an internist and a dentist one day each.

The 2024 Statistical Yearbook lists a Tatlısu centre with one staff member. The Ministry’s list includes Gazimağusa State Hospital in the same district, 27.8 km away in a straight line and 45.0 km (about 45 minutes) by road, and Girne Dr. Akçiçek Hospital in Kyrenia, for which no distance was computed.

İskele district, whose town lies 16.3 km from Tatlısu in a straight line, has no state hospital: the Ministry’s list of state hospitals names six, none in İskele. A Karpaz Hospital is under construction, and the Health Minister said on 17 August 2026 that the building would be finished by the end of 2026 (a ministerial promise, not a completed fact). For the city where Gazimağusa State Hospital stands, see this site’s Famagusta city page.

Roads and airports follow the coast. Ercan Airport is 33.4 km from the village centre in a straight line but 57.0 km (about 61 minutes) by road. Larnaca Airport is 78.2 km and about 81 minutes by an estimate that leaves out border queues and does not identify the crossing point; the UN reported long delays at the main Nicosia crossing on 5 January 2026.

Ercan serves flights to and from Türkiye only, per Wikipedia. The KIBHAS shuttle operator names Lefkoşa, Girne, Mağusa, Lefke and Güzelyurt in its timetable list and no Tatlısu stop; the sources used here contain no bus timetable for Tatlısu.

Official building statistics are not split out for Tatlısu in the sources used. For the whole Gazimağusa district, the Statistical Institute recorded final approval for 538 urban and 954 rural dwelling units in 2025 (1,492 in total, calculated), counting completed buildings only. No housing-sales or rent series for Tatlısu was found.

All distances in the table below are from the Tatlısu village centre (OpenStreetMap relation 16300857, one of the boundary polygons used). Straight-line figures are calculated from coordinates, and road figures and times are OSRM estimates on OpenStreetMap data, without traffic or border formalities.

Off-plan risk and protection in the TRNC, with Tatlısu land context

An apartment that is not finished is bought on paper, so most of a buyer’s protection comes from documents. This site’s record gives 2027 as the completion year, and the developer’s page states neither a completion date nor the stage of works, so a purchase before handover is an off-plan purchase in practice.

The official texts below set registration, permit and title requirements. The sources behind this guide describe no state escrow, bank-backed or completion-bond scheme for buyers; whether a contract provides one is a question for the buyer’s lawyer.

The first legal gate is the unit’s own title. Under Law 52/2008, art. 8(2), a condominium title (kat mülkiyeti) or condominium easement (kat irtifakı) must exist for the unit before a foreign buyer applies for the purchase permit. Selling a unit without one is a criminal offence, punishable by a fine of at most 500 gross monthly minimum wages.

At the wage in force since 1 July 2026, TL 70,893, that ceiling is TL 35,446,500 (500 × 70,893, calculated). As of 17 October 2026, Decree-Law 89/2026 lets applicants file for two years with a building permit or a Planning Approval where condominium title cannot yet be established.

The second gate is the contract itself. Under the same decree, the stamped sale agreement must be registered at the district Land Registry within one month, once the taxes and fees due on the sale have been paid, and the permit application must go in within that same month; if not, the contract is void automatically. Stamp duty is 0.5% of the stated sum and falls on the buyer unless the parties agree otherwise, per the Stamp Duty Law.

The Land Registry’s notice of 15 July 2025 says transactions are for now handled only at the office of the district where the property is registered. Because Tatlısu is in Gazimağusa district, that points to the Gazimağusa office, an inference and not a statement of the notice. The one-month period depends on the decree, whose 90-day validity ends about 5 November 2026 unless Parliament enacts it; the consolidated Law 52/2008 on mevzuat.gov.ct.tr does not yet reflect it.

Construction quality has the least official text. UK Government guidance names several recurring problems in Cyprus: lawyers acting for both vendor and builder, missing building permits, trouble getting completion certificates and title deeds, and mortgages that developers place on the land.

A February 2023 press report of statements by the Cyprus Turkish Chamber of Engineers and Architects says structures need static calculations to the earthquake regulation, that project approval checks compliance and that municipalities must have supervision done by the project authors. A November 2025 report says that regulation dates from 2015. Both are secondary.

The Statistical Institute counts only buildings holding a final approval certificate (nihai tasvip), issued by municipalities in urban areas and district offices in rural ones. That certificate is therefore the document to ask for at handover. Until all taxes and fees on the transfer are paid, local authorities may not give permanent or temporary water connections and the electricity authority may not give electricity connections, although site connections during construction are exempt.

Payment terms are a fourth risk: UK guidance names payment plans left out of contracts as a recurring problem. An agency guide says developer-direct instalment plans dominate the off-plan market and that bank mortgages for foreign buyers are limited, and agency pages disagree on bank lending (75% of the price in one, 50% in another). The sources used here describe no statutory compensation for late delivery, so the remedy for delay rests on the contract.

Contract amounts may be expressed in foreign currency under the Foreign Exchange Law, but the stamp duty on them is worked out in lira, at the official effective selling rate of the day the agreement is stamped. Consumer prices rose 35.02% in the 12 months to September 2026, per the Statistical Institute. The table sets each risk against the request that answers it.

Land history adds a separate question. Wikipedia reports that about 1,300 Greek Cypriots were displaced from Akanthou in 1974 and that the 1831 census recorded 163 Greek Cypriot and 10 Turkish Cypriot adult males.

The municipality tells the earlier story differently, as a Turkish village until the late 19th century that had a Greek Cypriot majority after the 1930s. Both accounts describe a Greek Cypriot presence before 1974, so claims by former owners on land in the area are plausible. Whether any parcel is affected can be read only from its title record.

The legal frame is the same as elsewhere in the north. The TRNC Constitution, art. 159(1)(b), vests in the State property found abandoned on 13 February 1975 and lets claimants prove their rights under a procedure set by law. In Demopoulos (1 March 2010) the European Court of Human Rights treated the Immovable Property Commission as an effective remedy.

As of 2 October 2026 the Commission’s statistics page shows 3,757 of 8,807 applications concluded, and Law 67/2005 keeps its door open to new applications until 21 December 2027. The sources used here found no Commission decision or court case naming Tatlısu, so this is a description of general risk and not a finding about Hillside.

A checklist for the weeks before any deposit follows.

1. Ask which plot the apartments stand on, with the parcel number and a location plan, because the developer’s page names none.
2. Obtain a Land Registry search document (araştırma belgesi) for that parcel from the district office.
3. Ask for the title category and the parcel’s history in writing; the developer states neither.
4. Confirm that a condominium title or easement exists for the unit being sold.
5. Request the building permit, the approved project and the supervising engineer’s name.
6. Ask for the delivery date, the long-stop date and the remedy for delay, and have them written into the contract.
7. Annex the payment schedule to the contract, with the currency and the date used for converting stamp duty.
8. Register the stamped agreement and file the permit application within one month of signing.
9. Check on the signing date whether Decree-Law 89/2026 is still in force, and again before the fee deadlines.
10. Keep every receipt and pay only to accounts in the contracting party’s name.

Buying property in Northern Cyprus in brief

Three questions come before any deposit: what a foreigner may buy, who approves it and which deadlines then start to run. The answer depends on the legal text in force on 17 October 2026.

Decree-Law 89/2026 (RG 147, 7 August 2026) permits a foreign buyer three apartments at most, or six if the buyer is a national of a state that recognises the TRNC. The consolidated Law 52/2008 still shows one apartment (three for those nationals). The decree also caps sales to foreigners at 80% of a housing project in zoned areas.

Approval comes from the Council of Ministers through the Interior Ministry’s Property Unit. Its document list asks for a passport copy, a copy of the title, a location plan with the area marked, a police record from the home country and the sale contract if there is one. The law sets no time limit for the decision. The developer’s FAQ quotes 1-2 months for Turkish citizens and 6-8 months for other nationalities, a claim no official source confirms.

The clocks start at signature. The stamped agreement goes to the Land Registry within one month, and the permit application goes in with it. After the permit appears in the Resmi Gazete, the decree allows 75 working days to pay the transfer fees and one year to sign the transfer; the consolidated text says 60 working days and six months. A permit cancelled for non-payment can be applied for again at double fees, and a third application for the same property is refused.

Costs follow the same order. Under RG 197 of 7 October 2026 the Land Registry fee for a foreign buyer is 4% of the price in total for a first property, 5.5% for a second and 6% for a third, valid to and including 5 January 2027.

Some agency pages quote other percentages, so quotations differ and the Gazette is the reference. Housing up to 300 m² of closed area is in the 5% VAT schedule, although the regulation does not say which sales fall within VAT; both Hillside types are below 300 m² on their listed sizes.

The permit application fee is half a gross monthly minimum wage, TL 35,446.50 at the July 2026 wage (70,893 ÷ 2, calculated). This site’s article on the cost of buying, building and renting property in North Cyprus puts the other costs side by side.

Risks, title and due diligence

No title-deed category is stated for Hillside, so the category and the parcel’s history have to come from the register. An agency guide says a deed should show whether it is Turkish, exchange or another classification, and the Land Registry fee schedule of 7 October 2026 treats land held under Final Disposition Certificates and Value Documents separately from ordinary titles. Official definitions of the categories were not found online. This site’s article on title deeds in Northern Cyprus gives background.

Land use is the next check. No agricultural or forest land may be sold to foreigners, and foreigners may not buy in first-degree military prohibited zones or military security zones, under Law 52/2008 and the 2012 regulation on limits.

The municipality lists greenhouse farming and olive and carob growing among local activities, so the classification of the parcel under the apartments is a question the title record has to answer. Foreign ownership is capped at 7% of each district’s area and 3% of the national territory, and no published figure shows how much of Gazimağusa district is already held by foreigners.

Approval can fail for reasons the buyer cannot see. UK guidance says that even on pre-1974 Turkish-title land a foreign buyer may be refused permission with no reason given, and the Interior Ministry vets the applicant through a home-country police record and a security inquiry.

Cross-border risk sits outside TRNC law. The Court of Justice of the EU held in Apostolides v Orams (28 April 2009) that Republic of Cyprus judgments on land in the north must be enforced elsewhere in the EU, and UK guidance describes a Republic of Cyprus offence in force since 20 October 2006.

The Republic’s chief negotiator warned against such deals in September 2025, in a press report that gives the Greek Cypriot side’s account. Every figure on limits, deadlines and fees in this guide rests on texts with end dates: the decree, until about 5 November 2026 unless enacted, and the fee schedule, until 5 January 2027.

How Hillside Tatlisu compares with the other Isatis projects

None of these differences is a ranking. Hillside lists the smallest top size of the twelve pages, 70 m², and its 1+1 falls inside the 70-75 m² band that Isatis 1 gives for its 2+1 apartments. That is a coincidence of size only, because neither page says how its area is measured. Orchard has a smaller studio, 44 m², and the widest span of sizes.

Hillside is also the only one of the twelve listings that this site files on the north coast. Between village centres, Tatlısu and Ötüken, where the Elysium, Elysium 2 and Infinity pages sit, are 18.8 km apart in a straight line and 35.7 km by road (about 39 minutes), according to the estimates used in Section 3. Unit counts appear only on the Isatis 1 and Isatis 2 pages, and no page gives a price, which rules out any comparison of cost.

For more listings, see the Northern Cyprus page and the Famagusta city page. This site also lists Sakarya Gardens, Urban Oasis and Aura Gardens in the Famagusta area, none of which is covered here.

Isatis Construction Group

This section is limited to what the developer says about itself. The About page states that Isatis Construction Limited has operated in the North Cyprus construction industry since its establishment there in 2015, and that its business is building and selling apartments and villas in Famagusta and Yeniboğaziçi. No other place is named. Neither Tatlısu nor the İskele area appears in its text, so the contract is where a buyer would confirm which company builds and sells Hillside and who owns the land.

The page also claims environmentally friendly materials of high quality, experienced staff, constant contact with customers before and after sales, support at the contract stage, projects presented to investors from many countries and management of the projects it delivers. These descriptions are the developer’s own, and this guide did not verify them. The footer of every page, the Hillside page included, carries a 2024 copyright notice, so the pages may predate the present position.

The developer’s FAQ differs from the official texts used in this guide in three places. Its one-property rule matches the consolidated Law 52/2008 and not the decree, its Land Registry fee of 4% split equally between the parties does not match the scale in RG 197, and its permit durations have no official source. Where they differ, this guide follows the official texts.

Frequently asked questions

Where is Hillside Tatlisu, and which district is it in?

This site files Hillside Tatlisu under Tatlısu (Greek Akanthou), a municipality on the north coast. The 2011 census table puts Tatlısu in Gazimağusa (Famagusta) district, Geçitkale sub-district, so it is not in İskele district and not in Kyrenia district. The developer’s Hillside page names no town, street or map point, so the plot’s position inside a municipality of about 66 km² is unconfirmed. A buyer can ask for the parcel number and a Land Registry search document for it.

How far is Tatlısu from Kyrenia: 40 km or 46 km?

Both figures are correct for different measures. The municipality says the village lies 40 km east of Kyrenia, and the earlier text of this listing used that figure. Measured from the village centre to Kyrenia Castle, the straight line is 39.2 km and the drive is about 46.0 km, roughly 49 minutes by an OSRM estimate without traffic. Neither figure measures the project’s own plot, because the developer does not locate it.

What unit types and sizes does the Hillside Tatlisu project list?

The developer lists two apartment types. The studio has no bedroom, one bath, a 33 m² first-floor rooftop garden and a size of 51 m². The 1+1 has one bedroom, one bath, a 52 m² rooftop garden and a size of 70 m². The page does not say whether the size includes the garden, so the enclosed area is either 18 m² for each type (if it does) or 51 m² and 70 m² (if it does not, calculated). It publishes no unit count.

Does the developer publish a price or completion date for Hillside Tatlisu?

No. The developer’s pages show neither a price, a payment plan nor a completion date. This site’s record holds a reference range of GBP 111,000-195,000 entered in 2024 and a completion year of 2027, neither confirmed on the developer’s pages. A buyer who wants either figure should ask for a dated written price list and a written statement of the stage of works, and should have the delivery date and the payment schedule written into the contract.

What must happen within a month of signing a sale contract as a foreign buyer?

As of 17 October 2026, under Decree-Law 89/2026 (RG 147, 7 August 2026), the stamped agreement must be registered at the district Land Registry within one month, after the sale’s taxes and fees are paid, and the purchase-permit application must be filed in the same month. Otherwise the contract is void automatically. The rule depends on the decree staying in force; its 90 days end about 5 November 2026 unless Parliament enacts it.

How many apartments may a foreigner buy, and could that change?

As of 17 October 2026, Decree-Law 89/2026 allows up to three apartments per foreign buyer, or six for nationals of states that recognise the TRNC. The consolidated Law 52/2008 on mevzuat.gov.ct.tr still shows one apartment, or three for those nationals. The decree is a Council of Ministers instrument valid for 90 days from 7 August 2026, about 5 November 2026, unless Parliament enacts it, so the limit can change. A buyer should check the Resmi Gazete on the signing date.

Is Tatlısu a sandy-beach resort?

The municipality describes its 22 km of coast as generally rocky, with small beaches and coves in places, and lists farming, fishing, tourism and real estate as its economy. On that evidence Tatlısu is not a long-sandy-beach resort. The developer’s Hillside page gives no distance to the sea and names no beach, so a claim of beachfront position cannot be checked. The Çiftlikdüzü coast point is 5.0 km from the village centre in a straight line, and 7.0 km by road.

Are there hospitals or health services near Tatlısu?

Tatlısu has a health centre that opened on 21 January 2026 with a doctor for the first time in 12 years. A general practitioner attends five days a week, and three specialists one day each, per a press report. Gazimağusa State Hospital, on the Ministry’s list, is 45.0 km away by road. İskele district has no state hospital; a Karpaz Hospital is under construction, with completion promised for the end of 2026.

Could land in Tatlısu be subject to pre-1974 claims?

It is possible in principle. Wikipedia reports about 1,300 Greek Cypriots displaced from Akanthou in 1974, and the municipality describes a Greek Cypriot majority after the 1930s. UK Government guidance warns that exchange or gift land can face restitution claims. The sources used here found no Immovable Property Commission decision naming Tatlısu, so no finding about Hillside exists. The parcel’s title category and history can only be read from the Land Registry record.

Does an apartment purchase in Tatlısu bring residence or citizenship?

Not automatically. The Residence and Visa Regulation (text of 5 October 2026) gives an owner with title in their own name and property worth GBP 300,000 or more a 10-year permit, and a 5-year permit below that; a contract buyer must have paid one third of the price and lodged the permit application. Permanent residence needs housing worth EUR 125,000 and six years of permits, and the Citizenship Law requires five years of uninterrupted residence. See this site’s citizenship and immigration and residency programme pages.
