A truly unique opportunity to purchase a ‘semi-retirement’ home and business on
the lovely island of Crete.
This ‘Dog Hotel’ has a high profile with both the ex-pat (European and Americans) and the Greek dog owners across the commercialised north coast of the
island. Yes, the Greeks can be dog lovers as well – they supply 60% of
the business at this time – and most speak some English, so a little knowledge
of Greek is enough.
Built in a a very private level location of approx 6300 sq m with an additional 1000 sqm of cleared forest, which provide all year round shade for the dogs. Laid out
to paddocks for exercise and play with the dogs - the lawn, field and wet
weather areas each have their own appeal for the guests.
The present owners are preferring to sell to a UK couple whose level of care for
the dogs is matched to their own high standards of care and cleanliness. This is
known as the English-run kennels with its own high standards.
The site has been restricted to only 10 brick built kennels at the moment by the present
owners individual care policy to the dogs, but does allow for a further 10
kennels to be built should you wish and further sub dividing of the areas for
additional paddocks.
The price includes the one storey owners stone house which has separate kitchen,
lounge, bathroom, two bedrooms and the reception/office – this
leads directly on
to the attached kennels, complete with kitchen and utility for storage.

From a start, late in 2008, the business has grown to a year-round business with
future bookings (European & Americans only) right through to 2010. The Greek way
is to book late…….even if it means we are full – as with Christmas and Easter
last year they had to turn away 11 late bookings!
2009 turnover rise to almost 60% capacity at 27,000 Euros. Full accounts
are available.
