The Landlord
HI..AM THE OWNER OF THE APARTMENTS.
I am just a simple person who knows to offer to my guests the real meaning of Cretan hospitality !!
I love rock’ n roll music and you will notice it from the first moment that you will come to the Sunrise Apartments as i live there.
this doesn’t meant of course that you will be disturbed by this during your stay at the Apartments..but during the night, if you like, we can meet just outside the “Reception,My Home” for a raki or a Beer and good old rock’n roll and chat till the morning..
I love the nature,the sea,the good food, the simplicity of life and the world of motorbikes.
Also i am a producer of a unique extra virgin olive oil that of course you will taste it for free during your stay at the apartments.
Your stay at the Sunrise Apartments will be a unique experience of your life !!
I GUARANTEE !!!
