Tatlısu vs Esentepe

What actually separates them
- Tatlısu has fewer schemes and lower density — most are on the first line of the sea.
- Esentepe has more infrastructure within reach: the Korineum golf course, more restaurants and a shorter run into Kyrenia.
- Rental demand in Tatlısu is more seasonal; Esentepe holds up slightly better out of season.
