Famagusta's Hidden Gem: Luxury Tatli City Apartments Await!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to take you on a wild ride through the neon-lit, historical heart of Famagusta – and your chariot, my friends, is the glorious, the legendary, the Luxury Tatli City Apartments! Forget stuffy hotels with their cookie-cutter rooms and soul-crushing predictability. This place? It's a game changer.
First things first: Accessibility. Listen, as someone who's navigated the travel world with a slight hobble, I can tell you: accessibility matters. And Tatli? They get it. While I didn't personally need a wheelchair-accessible room, just seeing the ramps, the elevators, the general thought behind it warmed my cynical little heart. They've got facilities for disabled guests, but more importantly, they seem to have the attitude – a genuine care. That's something you can't fake, folks.
Now, the Internet. Oh, sweet, sweet Wi-Fi. In this day and age, it's practically oxygen. And Tatli? They deliver. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Glorious. And not just that, but strong Wi-Fi. I’m talking streaming Netflix without buffering strong. I needed to catch up on some work - thanks to the Internet [LAN] I was able to stay connected. I'm talking about real, reliable internet. They also had Internet services, Wi-Fi in public areas, which is exactly what you need when looking for a Coffee/tea in restaurant to relax after a long day.
Let's get to the juicy stuff: "Things to do, ways to relax". Okay, so, the Swimming pool [outdoor] is a must. It's not just a pool; it’s an experience. You can spend a full day poolside, sun, and relax. If I'm being honest, the Pool with view is where I spent most of my time. If you want something more intense, try the Fitness center or the Gym/fitness, you're in luck! And if you really want to pamper yourself, the Spa, Spa/sauna is perfect. I could have stayed in that Sauna all day. I didn't partake in the Body Scrub, Body Wrap, or Foot Bath, but I heard from someone else that they had a stellar experience, they were raving about it! I'm a sucker for a good Massage too - it's like the reset button for your soul. And the Steamroom? Pure bliss.
Cleanliness and Safety: Look, post-pandemic, this is a HUGE deal. And Tatli crushed it. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer everywhere. They're Rooms sanitized between stays. The staff is trained in safety protocol. They had professional-grade sanitizing services and Individually-wrapped food options. It's not just about the cleaning; it's about the peace of mind. They even had a doctor/nurse on call. Trust me, it makes a huge difference. They also had a first aid kit. I was able to sleep well knowing I was safe. The Cashless payment service made transactions so smooth, the Safe dining setup provided comfortable dining experiences and you can even opt out of room sanitization.
Dining, drinking, and snacking. Okay, let's talk food. The Breakfast [buffet] was a glorious spread. Honestly, the Western breakfast was superb. They also had an Asian breakfast, I was not brave enough to try it but I'm sure it was good. They had a Coffee/tea in restaurant, perfect for a quick caffeine fix to jump start your day. I was pleased to find the Desserts in restaurant. There was a Snack bar available too. The Bar? Well, let's just say I may have spent a little too much time there enjoying the Happy hour. They have a great mix of International cuisine in restaurant and also a Vegetarian restaurant if you're into that. The Room service [24-hour] is a lifesaver when you're feeling lazy or need a late-night snack! The A la carte in restaurant allows you to choose what you want. They also offer Alternative meal arrangement if needed and provide Bottle of water.
Services and conveniences. You'll find everything here: From something basic like Air conditioning in public area, all the way to Audio-visual equipment for special events, you'll find the hotel equipped for all types of guests. They also offer Business facilities like Meetings, Meeting stationery, Projector/LED display, etc. You can get Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Currency exchange, Dry cleaning, Elevator, etc. You won't believe the facilities they offer! They also offer services like Food delivery and Invoice provided for your convenience, and stuff like Laundry service, Luggage storage, and Safety deposit boxes. They've thought of everything.
For the kids: This is where I get a little fuzzy, as I wasn't traveling with any little humans. But they have Babysitting service and Kids meal, so it is great for families. They definitely are Family/child friendly!
Access, Safety/security feature, Getting around: I felt super safe. CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Fire extinguisher, Front desk [24-hour], Security [24-hour], Smoke alarms I mean, they had it all. The Check-in/out [express] was a breeze. The Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site] was a huge plus. And, of course, Airport transfer which made getting to and from the airport a breeze.
Available in all rooms: This is the stuff that makes a hotel room a home. Air conditioning (essential in Cyprus!), Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathtub, Blackout curtains (thank you, sweet baby Jesus!), Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Mini bar, Non-smoking, Private bathroom, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Umbrella, Wake-up service, and of course, Wi-Fi [free]. The Interconnecting room(s) available is a great option if you're traveling in a bigger group.
Let's talk about the rooms themselves. Honestly, the Bed was dreamy. The Linens were crisp and clean. You could ask for Extra long bed and they would provide it! I spent some time in the Seating area and the Closet gave me enough space to hang all my clothes. I spent a lot of time on the Sofa relaxing. I even used the Additional toilet to make life easier! It was all just…comfortable. Well-equipped, functional, and, dare I say, even stylish. The Room decorations were a nice touch.
The Imperfect Perfection
Look, no place is perfect. There were a few tiny hiccups. The room felt cozy. The Mirror was a little too intimate. The Reading light wasn't quite bright enough for late-night bookworms. And sometimes I’d stumble across the Exterior corridor. But honestly, those are just details. They didn't negate the overall experience – which, for me, was overwhelmingly positive. And let's be real, the imperfections added a bit of charm. They humanized the place.
The Emotional Rollercoaster
I actually felt a little emotional when I was leaving. I didn't want to say bye to the View. It's not every day you find a place that feels like a genuine escape, a place that gets you. Tatli City Apartments delivered. It restored my faith in hospitality.

Alishan Hotel Chiayi: Unbelievable Views & Luxury You Won't Forget!
Alright, buckle up buttercup, because this itinerary is gonna be a chaotic symphony of sun, sand, and probably some minor existential crises. We're talking Tatli City Apartments in Famagusta, Cyprus. Promises of turquoise water and… well, let's see what happens. This is less a polished schedule and more a desperate plea for sanity… and maybe a good halloumi sandwich.
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Apartment Hunt…aka, the Humiliation Begins
10:00 AM (ish): Landed at Larnaca Airport. The air already smells of potential sunburn and questionable decisions. (And duty-free perfume, gotta love that.) Airport transfer… supposed to have been smooth sailing. Instead, the driver, bless his heart, got us completely lost. Turns out, "close to the sea" in Cyrpus can mean anything from "across the street" to "three miles inland with a herd of goats". This is where the first wave of “am I making the right choice?” starts to crash.
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: (Finally!) Arrived at Tatli City Apartments. The "city" part is… ambitious. Cozy, maybe. The apartment itself? Well, let's just say the photos online were taken by a magician. It’s clean, but the air conditioning sounds like a dying walrus. I'm already sweating, mostly from the stress of unpacking and the overwhelming urge to escape.
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: The Great Grocery Run. Armed with a phrasebook and an unwavering belief in the power of miming, I venture into the local supermarket. This is where I discover, once again, that my conversational skills are limited to "thank you" and "more wine, please." Managed to procure some bread, some suspiciously cheap cheese, and a bottle of local red that, judging by the label, was probably fermented in a repurposed oil drum. Wish me luck.
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Nap time. The day has officially defeated me. The air conditioning is still battling the walrus within, but… I have to rest. I shall be back to my hotel room to enjoy the first nap session.
4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Beach Reconnaissance. Okay, the beach is pretty. But the sand is… hot. Like, "I'm pretty sure I can fry an egg on this" hot. Found a shady spot under a palm tree. Tried to read my book. Failed. Too much sun, too much buzzing, too much… everything. Took a nap.
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner. Found a small taverna near the beach. Ordered grilled halloumi (YES!) and a salad. The halloumi was…perfect. The sunset? Even better. For a fleeting moment, all the chaos of the day melted away. It was glorious. Then the waiter tried to upsell me on a fish that looked like it had seen better days. Said no and promptly returned to my hotel room.
8:00 PM - Sleep: The red wine is working its magic. Trying to make sense of the day. Feeling overwhelmed, but also… strangely content. The walrus is still holding court in the air conditioner. Day 2: Cultural Immersion… and the Quest for a Decent Coffee
8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Wake up. Ugh. That red wine… Coffee is the first priority, and this apartment’s instant stuff is an insult to the very notion of caffeine.
9:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Old Town Famagusta exploration. Got lost in the maze of narrow streets, stumbled upon a cute little hidden-away cafe and got my delicious coffee. The ancient architecture is stunning… and also, terrifying. Feeling like I've stepped into a history book. Lots of wondering what did happen or what could happen.
11:00 AM - 1:00 PM: A Trip to Salamis Ruins. The ancient ruins were more than that book's pages; they were also amazing to look at. What was it that made people that old do so much for the world? The area also made me think of how the society that used to be in the middle age was gone at some point.
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Lunch at a random cafe in the town. I try to eat something different, and that's how I get my best food experience. A nice waiter comes and asks, "Are you enjoying it?"
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: More Beaching, more sun. Trying to find that zen feeling. It never works, but I think I am learning.
4:00 PM - 7:00 PM: The Great Apartment Hunt, Part 2. The air conditioning is still making noises. I have to find new ones… and oh man. The adventure begins…
7:00 PM - Sleep: Back to my apartment, writing this down. Day 3: The Day of the Boat, the Halloumi, and the Sea
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: I'm writing this itinerary during a peaceful boat tour. The tour is amazing, and I am in love with the sun.
10:00 AM - 1:00 PM: The boat tour comes to an end. We went to another beach to swim. And guess what? I did it! The seawater has a really beautiful color, and I am enjoying it.
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: We had lunch on the boat, and the food was amazing. It has tons of ingredients I don't even know!
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Back to the beach! This time, I try to have fun and interact with some people. I'm really trying to improve my social skills.
4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: The Quest for Perfect Halloumi: I'm searching for the perfect halloumi. I might have a restaurant in my mind, let's see if they have it! Day 4: The End… for Now
Morning: Breakfast, pack, deep breaths.
Afternoon: Airport Transfer. This time, I'll make sure the driver understands "Tatli City Apartments" and "NOT three miles inland."
Evening: Departure. Feeling a bit sad to leave, but also… ready for a proper shower and my own bed.
Postscript: Cyprus, you magnificent, messy, beautiful beast. You’ve tested my patience, filled my belly with halloumi, and left me with a suitcase full of memories. I’ll be back… eventually. But next time, I’m bringing a translator and a better air conditioner. And maybe, just maybe, I'll finally learn to relax.

Famagusta's Hidden Gem (Maybe... My Expectations Were HIGH) - FAQ About Tatli City Apartments
Okay, So, are these apartments REALLY "luxury"? 'Cause I've seen "luxury" before... and I'm pretty sure my grandma's spare bedroom had more pizzazz.
Alright, deep breaths. "Luxury" is subjective, right? What Oprah considers luxury, I'd consider... well, I'd consider needing a second mortgage. Tatli City? They're *nicer* than your average travel apartment, I'll give you that. Think: modern furniture, probably a balcony (essential for sneaky cigarette breaks, cough, just kidding!), and a decent bathroom. The kitchens are functional, which is a HUGE win for me. I once stayed in a "luxury" place where the only kitchen appliance was a sad-looking kettle and a spoon. This place at least had a fridge. But... true, jaw-dropping, "roll-around-in-silk-sheets-and-eat-caviar-for-breakfast" luxury? Nah. More like: "Pleasant, comfortable, definitely not a hostel" luxury. And hey, that's often good enough!
What about the location? Famagusta itself is pretty amazing, right? How's it work with getting around from the apartments?
Famagusta is BRILLIANT. Seriously, the history oozes from every cracked cobblestone. The old city is a must-see. Now, the location of Tatli City... hmmm. It's *close* to things, but you'll probably want a car. Walking into the heart of the old city is doable, like a twenty-minute leisurely stroll, but forget about it in the midday sun (unless you're into melting). Parking, like everywhere in Famagusta, can be a bit of a nightmare. I remember one time, I spent a solid hour circling the area trying to find a spot. Got so frustrated, I almost parked on a lawn (don't judge!). So, yeah, car recommended. Otherwise, you'll become best friends with taxis, and let's face it, that gets expensive. Consider renting a scooter! You'll feel like a rebel, dodging traffic and the sun. Just wear a helmet, okay? I swear I saw a guy wearing a colander on his head once... don't *be* that guy.
The pictures on the website look pretty good. Are the apartments actually *clean*? Because nothing ruins a vacation faster than questionable hygiene.
Ah, the million-dollar question. Cleanliness! Okay, look, I'm a bit of a germaphobe, I admit it. I pack wipes, hand sanitizer, and enough bleach to disinfect a small hospital. My experience? Generally... *yes*. The apartments I stayed in were clean. Not sterile-hospital-clean, but clean. The bathrooms were fine, the linens seemed fresh. I did, on one occasion, find a rogue hair in the shower. (Dramatic gasp!) But hey, these things happen, right? I’m probably more sensitive than most. Overall, I’d say they meet the cleanliness standard. But I also suggest checking the towels and bed linens *thoroughly* upon arrival. Better safe than sorry, and maybe pack your own pillowcase, just in case? (I’m not judging, I might do the same next time.)
What's the Wi-Fi like? Because I need to stay connected, you know? Gotta post those Insta stories.
Wi-Fi... the bane of every traveler's existence. Okay, so, the Wi-Fi was... *adequate*. Let's put it that way. It worked. Most of the time. It wasn't the lightning-fast, fiber-optic connection of my dreams. There were moments of frustration – buffering videos, delayed uploads. Picture this (because this is what I experienced, and I remember it vividly): Trying to upload a stunning sunset photo, and the little loading circle just. Wouldn't. Stop. Spinning. My frustration levels were off the charts. I almost threw my phone out the window (okay, maybe not *almost*, but I considered it). It's enough to make you want to rage-quit social media altogether, seriously!. So, if you're a digital nomad dependent on flawless internet, maybe bring a backup plan (a SIM card with mobile data). Otherwise, you'll probably be alright, just prepare for the occasional lag and some serious patience. And pray to the Wi-Fi gods!
Can you easily cook in the apartment? I like to make some food, and I'm not about to eat out EVERY meal.
Yes! The kitchens are pretty decent, as I mentioned before, functional. They have a fridge, a stovetop, and basic cooking utensils. More than what you'd get in a hotel, at least. I even cooked a simple pasta dish one night. It was a disaster, to be honest, but not the *kitchen's* fault. I managed to burn the garlic, set off the smoke alarm (another dramatic gasp - seriously, I draw attention), and then struggled to find a functional can opener. The pasta was slightly undercooked, and the sauce was... well, let's just call it "rustic." But I *did* eat it! The point is, you *can* cook. Just don’t expect Michelin-star-level results. Bring your own olive oil, though. And maybe a fire extinguisher, just in case. And don't forget the can opener! Seriously, a decent can opener is a life-changer on vacation.
Is there a concierge/reception? Or am I on my own completely?
There is *some* sort of reception. I remember arriving late one night and there was someone friendly enough to check me in. They could barely speak any English though. I guess I was on my own completely. Okay, maybe not *completely*, but you're not getting a 24/7 butler service either. But it depends on the apartment's owner. Don't necessarily expect immediate assistance with every little thing. Mostly you'll have a key, you'll get in, and you'll figure it out. Ask for help if you need it, but be prepared to troubleshoot a bit. That's one thing that surprised me -- they don't seem to have a lot of staff. Probably a cost-saving thing, but I felt a little adrift (but I do like my own space, and it's nice to not have constant interruptions!).
Anything else I should know... the *really* important stuff?
Okay, the *really* important stuff? Bring a power adapter! Those European plugs will get you every time. Double-check the air conditioning. Because Cyprus gets HOT! One time, I went to a place and the air conditioning was broken. It was the Sahara in there. I suffered for a week! And if you're a light sleeper, consider packing earplugs. Sometimes, you can hear the traffic. And a bit of advice... learn a few basic phrases in Turkish (or Greek). It really helps! Especially when ordering food or asking forHotel Near Airport
